Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli on Spain:

Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli on Spain: Pedro Sánchez is one of the most anti-Israel heads of government. During the first hostage deal, he announced Spain's recognition of a Palestinian state. So we asked: Who is Sánchez's strongest political opponent? Who speaks out against Hamas? Who understands the threat of radical Islam? The answer was Santiago Abascal, the leader of Vox. We brought him to Israel—to the City of David—for a meeting with the Prime Minister.

Beyond the moves that Erdogan and Fidan are leading in Syria, they also want to establish a Turkish military presence along the Israel–Lebanon border.

The move follows the failure of an operational plan they devised to overthrow Iran's ayatollah regime. Security sources say the two will remain in the Mossad in other roles. Their departure is framed as part of a reorganization, though Gofman's view is that those who drafted the failed plan should pay the price.
