Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez denounced terrorism in all its manifestations on the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel and appealed for an end to the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Criticizing the violent actions initiated by Hamas that triggered the conflict on October 7, 2023, Sanchez emphasized the need to stand against terrorism and to secure the release of the Israeli captives.
In a statement, the Socialist leader underscored the urgency to halt the atrocities in Gaza, urging Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to cease the alleged genocide of the Palestinian populace and establish a humanitarian corridor. Sanchez reiterated his support for a two-state solution as the sole viable approach to resolve the enduring Israeli-Palestinian discord.
Having been a vocal opponent of Israel’s military operations in Gaza, Sanchez previously advocated for Israel’s exclusion from global sports events and recently endorsed a comprehensive arms embargo on the country.
