Albares: Spain to recognize “State of Palestine” next Tuesday

Spain’s foreign minister Jose Manuel Albares has affirmed anew that his country will officially recognize the Palestinian state next Tuesday, May 28.

“To secure peace, Spain, along with other like-minded countries, advocates the two-state solution. To make that solution irreversible is to make peace in the region irreversible. Moreover, there is a way to achieve this: to recognize Palestine as a State and a member of the United Nations,” Albares said in remarks on Sunday.

Yesterday, the Spanish foreign minister called the International Court of Justice’s provisional measures, including the cessation of Israel’s attacks in Rafah, “mandatory,” calling on Israel to respect them.
