Simon Harris met with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Irish premier Simon Harris has said that the point at which Ireland and Spain can recognise the State of Palestine is “coming much closer”.
“I want this afternoon to pay tribute to all those working so hard to try to bring about an immediate ceasefire and the release of the hostages, including through the talks in Cairo, facilitated by the US, Qatar and Egypt,” Mr Harris said. Mr Harris also said it was possible to condemn the Hamas attack on October 7 and call for the unconditional release of the remaining hostages, and to also want to see a two-state political solution.
“The only way forward here is for a political peace process that brings about the two-state solution for which Ireland has been so long committed, as I know Spain has as well.” He said that Ireland and Spain agree on the urgency for an immediate ceasefire and increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza as well as the release of hostages in Gaza.
