One of the most anti-Israel governments in Europe collapses: Spanish PM announces elections

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced the dissolution of the government and early elections on November 29, amid the housing crisis and public protests following the eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her apartment in Madrid. Sanchez, described as one of the most anti-Israel leaders in Europe, hopes that a campaign on housing reforms will help him stay in power against the strengthening right and the migrant crisis in Ceuta.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced this morning the dissolution of the government and early elections, to be held on November 29. The decision came amid the severe housing crisis and public protests that erupted following the ruthless eviction of an 87-year-old woman from the apartment where she had lived in Madrid for about 70 years. Sanchez, described in the article as one of the most anti-Israel leaders in Europe, has led a series of moves against Israel, including accusations of genocide and promoting boycotts and legal proceedings. The elections were advanced after parliament rejected the package of laws intended to curb the housing crisis. Analysts estimate that going to elections now may actually serve Sanchez, as it will allow him to campaign on housing reforms instead of the issue of illegal immigration from Ceuta, which has become central in Spanish politics. The article notes that Sanchez's government legalized hundreds of thousands of migrants and failed to block over 70,000 migrants who broke through from Morocco into the Spanish enclave.
