This appears to be a confirmation of earlier speculation.
Spanish government making noises about amending the law that allows such cases to proceed. Also, the case could be undermined by the Plaintif's representative Gonzalo Boyé because of his association with ETA. Nevertheless does appear quite serious from an Israeli perspective if the faux outrage expressed by Bibi and others is any guide.
For info I constructed a web site earlier this year from a Google cache of one published in Israel that had been quickly removed by Israeli authorities - 'Wanted for War Crimes' . Frankly I'm surprised Google have not blocked it by now but they haven't - yet.

Quote:Incoming Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called the Spanish probe outrageous. 'It's absurd: Israel is fighting against war criminals and they are charging us with crimes'' said Netanyahu. 'There is nothing more ridiculous and absurd than them accusing us, a democracy legitimately protecting itself against terrorists and war criminals, of these crimes; it is absurd and makes a mockery out of international law,' he said..
