The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, formally announced Spain’s recognition of the Palestinian state, which will have to be approved by the Council of Ministers, underlining that this “historic decision” is not “against anyone”, much less against Israel, “a friendly people”, but “reflects our rejection of Hamas, a terrorist organization that is against the two-state solution.” Sanchez also once again called for a permanent ceasefire, the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and the release of hostages still held by Hamas.
