Jose Manuel Albares He assured this Tuesday, in statements to Telecinco, that the diplomatic crisis with Israel generated after the nonsense uttered by several members of Pedro Sánchez’s Government, including the president, has already been resolved. However, immediately afterwards, the Minister of Foreign Affairs did nothing other than charge… against Israel.
Let’s rewind: the Israeli Foreign Ministry summoned the Spanish ambassador last Friday after Pedro Sánchez said at the Rafah border crossing that, if the EU did not agree on recognizing the Palestinian State, Spain “will make its own decisions”. The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, “roundly” condemned the statements of the Spanish president, as well as those of his Belgian counterpart, Alexander De Croo, considering that the two leaders did not clearly point out Hamas for the crimes committed. Saturday, Hamas terrorists congratulated Sánchez for his “clear and bold stance”; On Sunday, he again blasted Israel for “the indiscriminate killing of civilians.” For his part, Albares conveyed this Monday to the head of the same portfolio of the Palestinian National Authority, Riyad al Maliki, “the solidarity of the Spanish people with the tragedy suffered by the Palestinian people” and, in the afternoon, he spoke with the ambassador of Israel in Spain, Rodica Radian-Gordon.

After all this, Albares said this Tuesday that “Spain has a very clear line that is not going to change” and that “Spain is not going to tolerate new statements” about its alleged support for Hamas – the terrorist organization that, as already he pointed out, praised Sánchez. The minister said that this Monday he spoke with Ambassador Radian-Gordon to inform her that “the completely false words of the president of Israel towards the president of the Government are unacceptable to us and cannot be reproduced again“.
Albares has insisted that Spain rejects the “attack by a terrorist organization such as Hamas and solidarity with the victims, two of them Spanish,” and that it also demands that the hostages be released “immediately and unconditionally.” And, echoing the refrain, he added: “We are going to continue requesting a ceasefire that is as broad as possible and a definitive solution that includes the recognition of a Palestinian state“.
Furthermore, Albares has said that “there is no need to expand further on this. Our position has been clear” and the Government will always be “among those who build peace” and work so that “this time is the last time we see a cycle of violence in the Middle East”.
