Spain has “flatly” rejected the Israeli Government’s statements in favor of the annexation of the West Bank, since, as he recalled, “annexation by force is contrary to International Law.”
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has underlined what the International Court of Justice has ruled, that the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories “It is illegal and must end as soon as possible.”
The settlements, according to the Executive, are “totally contrary to International Law, “they make the two-state solution difficult and are an obstacle to peace.”
Therefore, these statements, in his opinion, They are “inflammatory and make the necessary de-escalation difficult.” of regional tension”.
Spain thus joins the disapprovals of other countries such as France, Germany, Egypt or Qatar, who already publicly rejected the words of the Israeli Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, in favor of the official annexation of the occupied territories of the West Bank.
