Sánchez Calls for End to Violence in Gaza and Resumption of Peace Negotiations
The Spanish Prime Minister emphasizes the need for immediate ceasefire and renewed dialogue to achieve regional stability.
Pedro Sánchez, the President of the Spanish government, spoke out this week urging for an end to the escalating violence in the Gaza Strip, following Israel’s recent resumption of airstrikes on the coastal enclave.
This call for action comes after Sánchez held discussions with King Abdullah II of Jordan and President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of Egypt about the dire humanitarian situation impacting both nations.
In a message shared on social media platform X, Sánchez highlighted the urgent need for an immediate restoration of the ceasefire and a return to negotiations aimed at reaching a peace agreement.
He emphasized the necessity of addressing the conflict within the framework of a two-state solution, stating, "We must end this tragic spiral of destruction and death."
Sánchez previously condemned what he described as an "atrocious and unacceptable attack against Gazan civilians" during a press conference following the European Council meeting in Brussels.
His remarks coincided with Israel's military actions and the blockade on humanitarian assistance to Gaza, which included cutting off electricity supplies, measures he labeled as "absolutely unacceptable."
He criticized these actions for violating international humanitarian law and expressed deep concern for the immense suffering faced by the Palestinian people.
Sánchez reiterated his support for the two-state solution, questioning what alternative could be proposed by those opposed to it, and specifically raising concerns about the potential for mass deportations of Gazans.
These developments reflect a broader discourse among international leaders regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with calls for renewed dialogue and humanitarian access becoming increasingly prominent in diplomatic communications.
