Barcelona mayor Ada Colau announced late Wednesday that her city was cutting all institutional relations with Israel over “repeated human rights violations of the Palestinian population and non-compliance with United Nations resolutions.”

In an Instagram post, the far-left mayor said she told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the city “will not maintain institutional relations with his government.”

The move to suspend relations includes ending Barcelona’s sister city agreement with Tel Aviv, which was signed in 1998.

Colau said the decision to cut ties with the Israeli government came at the request of more than 100 entities and thousands of Barcelona residents.

The Barcelona mayor added that while the Catalan capital will no longer deal with the Israeli state, it will continue collaborating with Palestinian and Israeli entities “that work for peace and against apartheid.”
