He further argued that Spain has moved beyond legitimate policy disagreements with Israel and has instead embraced rhetoric that he believes enables antisemitism.

“Spain has normalized rhetoric that crosses the line from legitimate policy disagreement into raw antisemitism,” Giménez wrote.

Among his strongest criticisms was Spain’s reported decision to prohibit members of the Israel Defense Forces and certain Israeli government officials from entering the country.

Giménez described that policy as “unprecedented and shameful,” arguing that it unfairly targets members of the Israeli military while rewarding organizations that seek Israel’s destruction.

“To bar the brave men and women of the IDF … while your political apparatus simultaneously legitimizes terrorist networks and accommodationist policies, is a betrayal of Western values,” he wrote.

The congressman also criticized Spain’s policies restricting military cooperation with Israel, including what he described as arms embargoes and limits affecting defense transportation.

He argued those actions place Spain “firmly on the wrong side of the global fight for freedom.”

Giménez said the Congressional Friends of Spain Caucus exists to strengthen relations between the United States and Spain based on shared democratic values.

According to the congressman, Spain’s recent policies toward Israel demonstrate that the Sánchez government no longer shares those principles.
