PNN – The Prime Minister of Spain warned (Wednesday) that the disproportionate reaction of the Zionist regime in the war against Gaza is a threatening and destabilizing factor in the Middle East and the world.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, AFP wrote that “Pedro Sanchez” emphasized in this warning: The recognition of the independent Palestinian state, which the Zionist regime and its main allies have been resisting for a long time, is “in the interest of Europe’s geopolitical interests”.
The Prime Minister of Spain also raised the issue of the formation of an independent Palestinian state during his visit to Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar last week and told reporters that Spain will recognize Palestine as a country by the end of June.
Sanchez told the legislators of his country: “If the international community does not recognize the existence of Palestine, it will not help to form an independent Palestinian state.”
Agence France-Presse added: Since the Gaza war started more than 6 months ago, the Socialist Prime Minister of Spain has encouraged Europe towards an agreement to recognize the independent state of Palestine.
His criticism of the Gaza war has also led to tensions with the Zionist regime.

In Wednesday’s speech, Sanchez said that Israel’s “completely disproportionate response” (regime) has “violated humanitarian laws that are several decades old, and with this action, Israel threatens the stability of the Middle East and the entire world.”
In February, Sanchez and his Irish counterpart, Leo Verdekar, asked the European Union to “immediately” review Israel’s adherence to its human rights obligations. This request was made in the framework of a key agreement that links human rights issues to trade relations.
Last November, the Zionist regime called its representative in Madrid for consultation. This decision was taken after Sanchez expressed his anger in a televised speech and expressed serious doubts about the “legality of Israel’s actions in Gaza”.
In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Sanchez’s statement as “shameful”. Of course, the Israeli ambassador returned to Madrid in January.
Alon Leal, the former ambassador of the Zionist regime in Mardid, wrote in an article in Elcano think tank: Spain’s move to recognize the Palestinian state can “create a process that will lead to the recognition of the Palestinian state in the whole of Europe and the United Nations.” “
He added: In this case, Spain will become a meaningful actor for new diplomatic movements in the field of conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians.
In 2014, the Spanish Parliament asked the then right-wing government of this country to recognize the independent state of Palestine. This request came a few weeks after Sweden, as the first European Union member in Western Europe, recognized the independent state of Palestine.
Before Sweden, 6 other European countries, including Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania, recognized the independent state of Palestine.
