Apartment Prices in Spain Soared to the Sky - and the Price Israel May Also Pay | Dr. Anat Hochberg-Marom
Dr. Anat Hochberg-Marom analyzes Spain's multi-dimensional crisis: internal protests, a Russian threat, and friction with the US, warning of consequences for Israel and the European Union.
In an opinion piece, Dr. Anat Hochberg-Marom analyzes the deep crisis facing Spain and warns of its implications for Israel and the European Union. The headline promises a discussion of soaring apartment prices in Spain, but the body focuses almost entirely on a triple trap: civil protests and internal political crisis, a growing security threat from Russia including cyberattacks and infrastructure sabotage, and friction with the Trump administration demanding increased Spanish defense spending within NATO. The author argues that the Sánchez government, relying on the radical left, faces the strengthening of political extremes calling for disengagement from the European consensus and even for renewing energy ties with Russia. According to her, the crisis could harm European cohesion and reshape policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian issue, presenting Jerusalem with a dual challenge: bilaterally with Spain and multilaterally to prevent European fragmentation.
