Broncano a Abascal sobre ISRAEL: “No has tenido huevos”, y la RESPUESTA del líder de Vox #shorts

David Broncano asks Santiago Abascal why his conversations with Israeli officials included Catalan independence and Spain's North African territories, but not the victims in Gaza. The exchange turns confrontational before the host apologizes for his tone and Abascal asks to respond.

Spain's newspaper EL PAÍS posted the excerpt from La Revuelta, the RTVE television program hosted by comedian Broncano. His guest, Abascal, leads Spain's far-right Vox party.

Abascal describes three subjects he raised with Israel: condolences following the October 7 Hamas attack, a request that Israel's parliament not recognize Catalan independence, and support concerning Ceuta and Melilla. The latter are Spanish enclaves on the North African coast; Catalonia is the Spanish region whose independence movement has sought separation from Spain.

Broncano challenges what is missing from that account. He calls the omission of Palestinian victims horrifying and accuses Abascal of lacking the courage to raise their plight with Israeli leaders. Applause follows, then Broncano apologizes for the way he expressed himself.

Abascal responds by assigning responsibility for the deaths to Hamas, accusing the organization of using civilians as human shields. The description accompanying the clip also says he rejects all wars and argues that Israel and Spain face a shared Islamist threat.

The excerpt ends with a disagreement over child casualties and the figures used to describe them. Abascal says he cannot debate the numbers with Broncano, leaving the host's question about what he raised with Israeli officials unresolved in the clip.
