    Did they do this to ask Iran to allow them passage through the Strait of Hormuz? I think this was one of the conditions that was offered to Arab and European countries.

      Well, technically the condition was to expel the israeli and US ambassadors. This is the other way around, and AFAIK withdrawing your own ambassador is considered a less aggressive move than expelling the ambassador of the other country. And either way I strongly doubt they will do anything about their US relationship. So this seems to be just a based thing to do rather than trying to comply with iranian demands

      edit: it seems israel already withdrawn their ambassador from Spain last May, so this move now feels completely unrelated to the demands.
