Spain–Israel relations

Israel–Spain relations refers to diplomatic, cultural and economic relations between Israel and Spain. Israel and Spain have maintained diplomatic ties since 1986. Israel has an embassy in Madrid. Spain has an embassy in Tel Aviv, an honorary consulate in Haifa and a General Consulate in Jerusalem, which is regarded as diplomatic missions to the city of Jerusalem (including both West and East Jerusalem), Gaza and the territories of the West Bank. In additions to both countries being member states of the United Nations, both countries are members of the Union for the Mediterranean. The two countries are also involved with various programmes and agreements through the European Union, of which Spain is a member, and its relations with Israel.

Francoist Spain did not recognize Israel citing an international conspiracy of Jews and Freemasons against Spain, the "contubernio judeo-masónico". In 1949, the State of Israel voted against lifting sanctions against Spain in the United Nations General Assembly due to the Francoist regime's sympathy and material support for the Axis Powers. Despite the lack of diplomatic ties, the Franco government helped Jewish emigration from Morocco in the 1960s and, during the Six-Day War in 1967, issued Laissez-Passer documents to Egyptian Jews, enabling them to emigrate.
