Extremely! Spain makes another big move: If Israel participates in the competition, it will consider withdrawing from the 2026 World Cup

It's amazing! I haven't seen it before, but it turns out that Spain, the old maritime powerhouse, is so courageous, which is really impressive.

Who would have thought that Spain really planned to break up with Israel this time, and publicly announced that if Israel is allowed to participate, Spain will consider withdrawing from the 2026 World Cup.

This is another big move that Spain has released to Israel after it asked to kick Israel out of the European singing competition. If the European singing competition has little influence and Israel can ignore it, it is definitely a big deal for Spain to boycott Israel from participating in the World Cup.

First of all, the World Cup has a great influence in the world. The World Cup is only held every four years. Because of its scarcity, every World Cup has attracted much attention. Being able to appear in the World Cup has become the long-cherished wish of every professional player in his life. During the World Cup, no matter whether it is a fan or not, everyone will enjoy discussing interesting things on and off the court. For countries around the world, the World Cup is also a good opportunity to promote sports and cultural exchanges.

Therefore, Spain's choice to boycott Israel in the World Cup is a good move.

Secondly, Spain has a high influence in the World Cup, and has many fans. After waiting for four years, they are waiting to see the style of the Spanish football team again. If Spain refuses to participate in this World Cup due to Israel's participation, then these fans will definitely burn their anger to Israel.

Therefore, Spain has enough confidence to force the World Cup organizers to refuse Israel to participate.

Finally, Spain's move successfully set a precedent for boycotting Israel in large-scale cultural and sports competitions around the world

In the past two years, Israel's actions in the Gaza region have become increasingly excessive. In the past, it may have been just air strikes aimed at eliminating resistance forces. Now it has begun to dispatch bulldozers to flatten the houses of local people, which is clearly intended to occupy Palestinian land.

Internationally, many people are asking, since many countries have rejected the participation of the Russian team in many large-scale cultural and sports competitions due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, why should they not be treated equally and Israel is prohibited from participating? There are many countries that have such ideas, but few countries that really dare to stand up and implement boycotts. Everyone is waiting for a leading country, while Spain becomes the first European country to openly boycott Israel.

It has to be said that as a former old maritime power, Spain still has some courage in its bones.

Of course, in addition to courage, Spain itself also has this strength. Before sending a boycott, they are also prepared for the possible counterattacks in the future. Because Spain's economy is good, even if they will never do business with Israel or even the United States behind Israel in the future, they can withstand it, and the European market can fully meet Spain's economic operation.

Military, Spain is a NATO military power. If Israel really wants to fight Spain head-on because of this, it will probably be a challenge in the end. After all, in the past, many Israeli weapons and equipment were purchased from Spain. At present, Spain has stopped exporting all weapons to Israel.

In short, Spain's announcement of boycotting Israel in the upcoming 2026 World Cup is really impressive. It is estimated that many countries will follow suit in the future, and let's see how Israel responds.
