Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated: “The Israeli occupation must end, and the Palestinian people must be empowered to establish their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, within the framework of a two-state solution.”
He added, “We must end the suffering of the Palestinians and put an end to the siege and the restrictions on the lives of civilians.”
The Prime Minister urged countries around the world to recognize the State of Palestine and work towards granting it full UN membership, as well as ending the Israeli occupation.
These remarks were made during his participation in the International Socialist Congress, which is taking place in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, from Friday to Sunday.
Sánchez emphasized the importance of achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, stressing the need for “concerted efforts to address the worsening crises in various parts of the world, particularly in Palestine.”
