Pedro Sanchez announced he will push Congress to recognise a Palestinian state before the end of his mandate in 2027.
“We will do it because of moral conviction, because it’s a just cause, but also because it is the only way that two states – Israel and Palestine – can live together and coexist in peace and security,” Sanchez said.
The Spanish leader is the highest-ranking and most well-known European official to condemn Israel for its attack on Gaza, joined only by politicians in Ireland and Belgium.
In December, Sanchez said given “the footage we are seeing and the growing numbers of children dying, I have serious doubts [Israel] is complying with international humanitarian law”.
