OFFICIAL STATEMENT 020

Violence in Gaza

May 9, 2023
Spain is consternated by the escalation of violence in Gaza. The Government reiterates its condemnation of terrorism, as well as of the reprisals that have caused civilian victims, and recalls Israel's obligation to respect international humanitarian law.

Spain reiterates its call for restraint in order to avoid a new escalation of violence and urges the parties to reopen the negotiating framework initiated in the Aqaba/Sharm El Sheikh process to prevent a new escalation of violence and to give a political perspective to the two-State solution, the only possible response to the legitimate national aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis.
