Badr al Busaidi, thanked Spain’s “noble position” towards “the just Palestinian cause”, since, according to a statement from his department, the Spanish government “has sought to stop the violence in the Gaza Strip from the first moment of the war”.
“Both sides discussed the efforts made to contain the current escalation in the region and to focus on exerting all pressures aimed at stopping the violence and Israel’s indiscriminate war in the Gaza Strip,” the statement said.
Likewise, they addressed “cooperative relations between the two friendly countries and emphasised their continued development in all fields”.
