Israel under threat as Spain's win shifts to Palestinian spotlight
The article discusses the reactions to the 2026 World Cup final between Argentina and Spain, in which Argentina was defeated by Spain. This outcome led to widespread disappointment among Israeli leaders, who expressed their support for Argentina despite the loss. Israeli officials, including Benjamin Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben Gvir, publicly showed their backing for Argentina. Meanwhile, Palestinians considered Spain’s victory as a "moral Palestinian victory," reflecting the solidarity of peoples with Gaza, which is under a brutal Israeli assault that has resulted in the death of over 73,000 Palestinians. Conversely, there are popular Argentine perspectives that reject aligning with Israel and condemn the aggression against Gaza, especially in light of Spain's continued support for the Palestinians—such as Madrid's recognition of the State of Palestine and calls to end the war and halt arms exports to Israel.
