Israeli ambassador, Rodica Radian-Gordon, confirmed yesterday that she is in contact with the Spanish government regarding the “almost war-like” situation in the Gaza Strip following the missile attacks on Israeli territory and the bombardments carried out by its air force on the Palestinian territory.

These contacts, as she explained in a telematic meeting with Spanish journalists, are part of a “very open communication” with the Spanish authorities, of which she has been “very satisfied”, although she did not offer more details.

 

The air attacks carried out by Israel on Gaza are “surgical” and respond to a “provocation” by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, defended Radian-Gordon, who regretted “tragedies”, such as the death of a dozen children as a result of these attacks, but avoided assuming “one hundred percent” who is responsible for these collateral victims. In this regard, she said that “between 20 and 30 percent of the rockets launched from Gaza (on Israeli territory) are duds and, therefore, part of the Palestinian victims may be due to friendly fire”.

 

On the other hand, the diplomat justified her government’s attitude because “we cannot not react” to what she described as “terror attacks”. “I do not want to imagine what would have happened if we had not had Iron Dome (the Israeli anti-missile defense system)”, which has managed to neutralize 90 percent of the missiles but not the death of 6 people in these days.

 

The ambassador stressed that the international community must understand that “these savage attacks are unacceptable”, despite which she considered that “the (Israeli) response is being proportionate”.

 

Radian-Gordon admitted that her country is in a state “almost of war” but, for now, although the army has mobilized 5,000 reservists, “no ground offensives similar to those of 2012 and 2014 are contemplated.

 

The ambassador pointed out that Israel “has done everything possible to calm things down” and gave as proof that the Israeli Supreme Court postponed the hearing it had scheduled on the eviction of several Palestinian families in a neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
