SPANISH PRESIDENT VISITS MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES

After visiting Jordan and Saudi Arabia, the President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, concluded his trip to the Middle East in Qatar, where he met with the Emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, and with the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Bin Jassim Al Thani.

As he did on previous trips, Sánchez addressed the situation in Gaza and the day after the war between Israel and Hamas with the Qatari authorities. In this sense, the Spanish president reiterated his defense of the two-state solution and recalled his intention to recognize the Palestinian State.

He also praised the mediation efforts being made by Qatar to end the war, especially to achieve a ceasefire, the entry of more humanitarian aid and the release of hostages.

Likewise, he stressed that Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are promoting different efforts to achieve a truce, to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, free the Israeli hostages and maintain stability in the region.

For their part, the Qatari authorities highlighted the pacifist stance of the Spanish Government and, in particular, Madrid's emphasis on the importance of respecting international law and its determination to recognize the Palestinian State. The Government of Spain has been one of the most critical voices of the Israeli military operation in Gaza.
