“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.”

“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.
