Today (Monday), the Foreign Ministry sent Spain a diplomatic message forbidding the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem from providing services to those in Judea and Samaria and thus outside the Jerusalem area.

The order will go into effect on June 1, and if it is not heeded, Israel will take additional punitive steps.

These steps are being taken due to Spain's decision to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state.
