Barcelona Severs Relations with Israel Until 'Rights in Gaza Respected'

  • On May 30, 2025, Barcelona's city council decided to end official relations and pause the longstanding friendship arrangement established in 1998 with the city of Tel Aviv in response to Israel's actions in the Gaza conflict.
  • The council took action in response to ongoing harm and fatalities in Gaza, highlighting breaches of global legal standards and the infringement of Palestinians' rights amid rising tensions with Israel.
  • The motion, supported by the Socialist party, far-left, and pro-independence groups, also urges Fira de Barcelona to exclude Israeli government pavilions and arms-related companies.
  • Barcelona's Mayor Jaume Collboni expressed that due to the ongoing hardship and fatalities in Gaza over the last eighteen months, along with the latest Israeli government actions, maintaining any form of relationship has become impossible.
  • The vote adds to international criticism of Israel’s Gaza war but likely has limited practical effect, continuing calls for respect of Palestinian rights and international law.
