Spain honours UN rapporteur Albanese for Gaza advocacy

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez awarded the Order of Civil Merit to UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese on 19 December, recognising her advocacy criticising Israel's military operations in Gaza as genocide and war crimes. The honour reflects Spain's positioning as a leading European critic of the war; Madrid has formally recognised Palestinian statehood, pushed for an EU arms embargo on Israel, and refused US use of Spanish bases for Iran-related operations.

MSF accuses Israel of manufacturing a malnutrition crisis in Gaza

Doctors Without Borders accused Israel of manufacturing a malnutrition crisis in Gaza through restrictions on food and aid deliveries, citing analysis of medical data from four health facilities showing that more than half of pregnant women treated between June 2025 and January 2026 suffered malnutrition, with 90 percent of babies born under those conditions premature. MSF stated malnutrition was nearly non-existent before October 2023 and attributed the crisis to Israel's blockade, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and healthcare facility closures, while noting that only approximately 150 of the promised 600 daily aid trucks currently enter Gaza.

Leading Irish footballers and celebrities, including former national coach Brian Kerr and actor Stephen Rea, have signed an open letter urging the Football Association of Ireland to boycott UEFA Nations League matches against Israel scheduled for September 27 and October 4, citing allegations of genocide in Gaza and claims that Israel breaches UEFA statutes by fielding teams on occupied Palestinian land. Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin said the matches should proceed, stating sport should not be politicized, while the FAI has indicated it must fulfill its UEFA obligations to avoid disqualification; a November 2025 FAI member vote saw 93 percent support pressing UEFA to suspend Israel under its statutes.
