Spain PM ‘PROUD’ Of Yamal After Palestine Flag STORM | Israel FUMES As Spain PM SUPPORTS Footballer

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has publicly defended Barcelona star Lamine Yamal after the young footballer waved a Palestinian flag during Barcelona’s La Liga victory parade. The gesture triggered sharp criticism from Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who accused Yamal of “inciting hatred.” Sánchez hit back strongly, saying Yamal simply expressed solidarity with Palestine — a sentiment shared by millions across Spain. The controversy has once again highlighted growing tensions between Spain and Israel amid the ongoing Gaza war.
