Florida Congressman Steps Down From Spain Caucus Over Spanish Government’s Israel Policy

A dispute over U.S. allies and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has spilled into congressional diplomacy after Florida Republican Rep. Carlos A. Giménez announced that he is resigning as co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Friends of Spain Caucus.

Giménez said his decision was prompted by what he described as the Spanish government’s increasingly hostile stance toward Israel under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, arguing that Spain’s recent foreign policy no longer reflects the principles the caucus was created to promote.
