Al-Baour expressed “the thanks and gratitude of the State of Libya, its government and people, for the position taken by the Spanish government in its support of the Palestinian cause, Spain’s official recognition of the State of Palestine, and its continued demand for the necessity of a ceasefire in the war waged by the Zionist entity against Gaza and Lebanon.”
