Claim 1: “Spain will officially propose on April 21 that the European Union break off its association agreement with Israel, the RTVE broadcasting corporation reported, citing the Prime Minister of the kingdom, Pedro Sanchez.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a date ('April 21') and a specific reporting mechanism ('RTVE broadcasting corporation reported, citing the Prime Minister'). The web search result from Anadolu Ajansı confirms that Pedro Sanchez said Spain will formally ask the EU to break the association agreement with Israel, but it does not mention the specific date of April 21 or confirm the reporting mechanism via RTVE in the provided snippets. The other sources are either general or unrelated to this specific proposal/date.

Claim 2: “According to the head of the cabinet, anyone who "violates international law and, consequently, violates the principles and values of the European Union, cannot be an EU partner."”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim attributes a specific quote to Pedro Sanchez regarding EU partnership criteria. While the evidence confirms Pedro Sánchez is the Prime Minister of Spain and that the EU has partnership relations (e.g., with Turkey), none of the provided web search results or Wikipedia entries contain this specific quote attributed to him. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate this statement from multiple sources.
