An opinion piece by David Ben Basat in Maariv attacks Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez over his policy toward Israel. The author claims that while Sánchez accuses Israel of 'genocide' in Gaza, Spain's borders are breached by waves of migrants from Morocco, and Madrid does not open its gates to refugees. The article notes that Sánchez's statements were received with enthusiasm among haters of Israel but drew sharp criticism. It further states that Sánchez's political situation is deteriorating: the ruling party (the Socialist Party) faces corruption investigations, the parliamentary majority is eroding, and there are calls for his resignation in the Spanish Congress. The author concludes that leaders are tested by their ability to defend their state, and that political karma is a result of choices and consequences.
