Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called for Israel to be banned from sports events after pro-Palestinian activists disrupted the Vuelta cycle race in Madrid. He compared Israel's actions in Gaza to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, arguing that both should be excluded from international competitions. The protests led to clashes with police and injuries, while Sánchez faced backlash from Israeli officials and criticism from Madrid's mayor. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also condemned the protests. The situation reflects Spain's increasing support for Palestinian rights amidst ongoing tensions.
