Netanyahu decides to exclude Spain from the International Coordination Center for the Gaza Strip

The Prime Minister of the occupation entity, Benjamin Netanyahu, issued official directives today, Friday, for the immediate exclusion of representatives of Spain from the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) located in the city of 'Kiryat Gat'. This escalatory step comes as a punitive measure against the government of Pedro Sanchez, which the occupation accuses of adopting hostile stances and distorting the image of military operations in international forums.

Sources clarified that the decision was made in coordination with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, and the American administration was informed of it before its official issuance. Through this measure, Netanyahu seeks to isolate Madrid from any political or field role related to the arrangements for the Gaza Strip, in response to what he described as clear Spanish bias against Israel during its recent confrontations with Iran.

The 'Kiryat Gat' center is considered a fundamental pillar in the vision proposed by US President Donald Trump for managing Gaza's affairs in the post-war phase, having been established in the fall of 2025. The center undertakes sensitive tasks including overseeing the flow of humanitarian aid and monitoring compliance with ceasefire agreements under direct supervision from Washington.

With this exclusion, the European reconstruction and coordination plan loses one of its active parties, as Netanyahu stressed that countries that criticize Israeli military conduct will not be granted a seat in consultations on shaping the future of the region. This decision reflects the peak of diplomatic tension between the two sides, especially after Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador in protest of the crimes committed in Gaza and Lebanon.

Observers believe that the expulsion of the Spanish mission represents an Israeli attempt to reformulate the international alliances overseeing the Palestinian file in accordance with the occupation's conditions. While Madrid continues its sharp criticisms of expansionist and aggressive policies, it appears that the US-led international coordination system is beginning to narrow down on European partners who reject Israeli orientations.

Whoever attacks Israel instead of terrorist regimes will have no place in regional consultations and shaping the future of the region.
