The claim that sunken Spanish gold belongs to Israel is not supported by credible evidence or official records. While there have been significant underwater archaeological discoveries in Israel, such as a hoard of over 2,000 gold coins found off the coast of Caesarea in 2015, these coins are linked to ancient trade routes from the 11th century and are not connected to Spanish galleons or colonial-era treasure.
The coins discovered near Caesarea were minted in Cairo and Palermo, indicating they were part of a broader Mediterranean trade network, not Spanish plunder.
There is no verified historical or legal basis for asserting that sunken Spanish treasure, such as that from the 17th-century galleon San JosΓ©, belongs to Israel. The San JosΓ©, a Spanish warship that sank in 1708, is claimed by Spain based on international maritime law, which grants ownership of sunken military vessels to their country of origin.
Spain has successfully enforced such claims in the past, including winning a U.S. court case in 2012 to recover a treasure trove of gold and silver coins found by a private company off the coast of Portugal.
The idea that a Jewish slave trader owned ships carrying gold that now belongs to Israel is a fictional narrative with no historical foundation.
