Spain's push for EU action against Israel reflects growing international pressure and isolation of Israel, which could contribute to the conditions described in Ezekiel 38-39 where Israel appears vulnerable before the Gog coalition invasion. The Hebrew term יָשַׁב לָבֶטַח (yoshev labetach, dwelling securely) suggests Israel will be in a state of perceived security despite international tensions.
EU division over Israel policy represents the kind of international discord and political tension described as 'nation against nation' (ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος, ethnos epi ethnos). European unity fracturing over Middle East policy reflects the geopolitical instability characteristic of end-times conditions.
International isolation through suspension of diplomatic agreements could contribute to the scenario where Jerusalem becomes 'surrounded by armies' as described in Luke 21:20. While this is diplomatic rather than military pressure, it reflects the pattern of international abandonment that precedes end-times siege conditions.
