Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said yesterday that he will propose that Spain’s parliament recognizes a state of Palestine.

Sánchez added his voice to a chorus of other European leaders and government officials who have said that they could support a two-state solution in the Middle East as international frustration grows with Israel’s actions in the Palestinian territories.
Sánchez pointed out that his position on the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip is much like his country’s support for Ukraine following Russia’s full-scale invasion more than two years ago.
He stressed that Spain demanded “respect for international law from Russia, and from Israel, for the violence to end, the recognition of two states, and for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza.”
