Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez led a group of European states in recognising Palestine as a state on Tuesday, saying the move was a step towards focussing “all our efforts to implement a two-state solution and make it a reality”.
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – MAY 26: Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa and Spanish Foreign Minister Juse Manuel Albares hold a joint press conference after their meeting in Brussels, Belgium on May 26, 2024. Describing Spain’s ambitions for the Middle East, socialist politician Sánchez continued: “The only way to realise the solution that we all recognise as the only possible one to achieve a future of peace, that of a Palestine state that coexists alongside the state of Israel in peace and security… starting tomorrow we will focus all our efforts to implement a two-state solution and make it a reality.
Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris echoed Spain’s Sánchez when he made clear a “two-state solution” was the purpose of the move. He said: “We had wanted to recognise Palestine at the end of a peace process however we have made this move alongside Spain and Norway to keep the miracle of peace alive. I again call on Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel to listen to the world and stop the humanitarian catastrophe we are seeing in Gaza.
