Bingen Zupiria, spokesperson for the Basque Government, showed this Wednesday to the media his solidarity with the relatives of Iván Illarramendi, whose death and that of his wife were announced today after being missing for a month in the Gaza Strip.
First of all, Zupiria has agreed with the rest of the media and institutional representatives in ensuring that “we do not have much concrete information. What we know is that a spokesperson for the Israeli Government has informed Iván Illarramendi’s family of Iván’s death. But we do not know more details about how his death occurred. To make other types of assessments, therefore, we should have more information at our disposal.
Where Zupiria has expressed himself clearly and forcefully has been in his message of “solidarity” with those close to him and in his condemnation of the unleashed war that is only bringing suffering for both sides: “We put ourselves in the place of the relatives for all the suffering they must have suffered in the month that their whereabouts were unknown. This leads us to also put ourselves in the place of the relatives of the 10,000 people who have lost their lives since the war broke out in Israel and Hamas.”
