Florida Congressman Quits Spain Caucus Over Government’s Israel Policies

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.
