I've checked in the English, Hebrew, French and
other Wikipedias, and
found out you can upload fair use images, or at least, I haven't found
and DIRECT link to the Commons.
What do you suggest, should we block all the users just because they
can't upload images directly to the Wikipedia?

No, just block users who repeatedly iupload fair use images after
being warned not to.
Fair use images have been banned from eswiki for a LONG time
much before they disbaled local uplaods
which was consensed by community
You're making a big fuss out of a few stubborn people.
Spanish users have been using commons for a while without problems
and there are even several commons sysops
Fair use is banned on eswiki
no matter images go commons or not
fair use was banned BEFORE the local uploads were disabled
and it would continue so even if local uplaods were reenabled
stubborn users would STILL be blocked
the only difference they would be blocked first on eswiki
and then on commons when they try to get around
