In the same appearance, the president reported that Spain will sign an agreement with Ukraine that &#8220;will raise economic and social cooperation between our countries to an even higher level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, \u201ccontinues to bomb hospitals, homes, punishing innocent people to the point that the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office of the International Criminal Court has requested his arrest.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The Israeli prime minister does not have a peace project for Palestine,\u201d S\u00e1nchez said. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u201cFighting Hamas is legitimate, but Netanyahu is generating so much pain that the situation between the two states is in serious danger of being viable\u201d and, therefore, it is necessary to \u201cdo everything in our power\u201d to move towards the solution of the conflicts. two States, the only \u201cjust and sustainable\u201d one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cThe offensive will only perpetuate hatred.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">We cannot allow it, the countries that defend human rights are obliged to act in Ukraine and Palestine, without double standards,\u201d S\u00e1nchez stated before the plenary session.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cWe are obliged to do everything in our power to say loud and clear that we are not going to allow the possibility of two states to be destroyed.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\"><strong>I inform you that after having agreed on the decision in the coalition, on May 28 we will approve the recognition of Palestine<\/strong>,\u201d he announced.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter how many walls are built, the land and identity of Palestine will continue to exist\u201d and, therefore, Spain will recognize the State of Palestine \u201cfor peace, for justice and for coherence,\u201d he added. \u201cThe Palestinian authority is our partner for peace and will need all our support to restore basic services and security, Spain will be fully committed to these objectives,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to S\u00e1nchez, he has shared all these matters with the king and the leaders of the European Union and, in addition, Spain \u201cwill be accompanied by other European countries during these days and next week\u201d and will thus join the more than 140 countries of the world\u201d that already recognize the Palestinian State. \u201cWe hope we are not the last, that our recognition and reasons contribute to other countries following this path,\u201d he added. <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Following the announcement, the leader of Sumar and second vice president of the Government, <strong>Yolanda D\u00edaz,<\/strong> celebrated this decision on social networks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">For its part, <strong>the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs<\/strong> has announced \u201cserious consequences\u201d for Spain, Ireland and Norway for the recognition of the Palestinian State, which will take place in the three countries on May 28, and has called for consultations with its ambassador in Madrid, Rodica Radian-Gordon, and has summoned the Spanish ambassador in Tel Aviv, Ana Solomon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">In the same sense, the <strong>Federation of Jewish Communities in Spain (FCJE)<\/strong>, the institution that officially represents Spanish Jews, stated in a statement that \u201cas long as there are hostages kidnapped in Gaza about whom nothing is known, recognizing the Palestinian State, It represents a reward for the terrorist organization Hamas.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cThe unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state by Spain does not contribute anything to resolve the release of the kidnapped people, nor is it a solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestinian organizations, nor does it contribute to peace in the region,\u201d it added.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cSpain would have to act in line with the rest of the European partners to achieve the immediate release of the kidnapped people, help resolve the conflict and achieve lasting peace,\u201d it concluded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">&#8220;Regarding Ukraine, I can announce that, as soon as the battle front allows, we will sign an agreement that will increase cooperation between our countries,&#8221; said Pedro S\u00e1nchez.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The agreement, pending approval by the Council of Ministers, was going to be signed during the visit that the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, planned to make to Spain on May 17, which was finally cancelled.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The objective of the agreement, similar to that signed with other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark or Canada, is to guarantee sustained military support (delivery of weapons and training of troops) in the long term while waiting for concrete the accession of Ukraine to NATO or the European Union.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Feij\u00f3o and Abascal<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">For his part, <strong>the leader of the PP, Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o<\/strong>, accused S\u00e1nchez of having started the \u201cconflict with Argentina\u201d \u201calone.\u201d<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cWhat had to happen after his government accused (President

ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cWhy does referring to his wife put democracy at risk and Mexico attacking the King doesn&#8217;t?<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Why so much fuss, but none when Morocco says that Ceuta and Melilla are not Spanish?<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Give me just one reason for Spain to withdraw the ambassador in Argentina but not in Russia,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cHe should fire his Foreign Minister for putting Spain&#8217;s interest at the service of the PSOE,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Likewise, he accused S\u00e1nchez of \u201cusing\u201d the victims of the conflict in Gaza in his favor.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cHe tries to be an international leader when he is not even capable of being a leader of his own government,\u201d he proclaimed.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">For this reason, he asked her, before looking for \u201cpeace in the world,\u201d to look for it in her Executive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The <strong>leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal<\/strong>, stated during his turn that S\u00e1nchez \u201cis not the King, and that his wife is not a State institution.\u201d<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cForeign policy should be a state policy and not a family policy, which he has done these days,\u201d he continued.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cThey call the president of a nation a drug addict, fascist and crazy, and they expect him not to respond.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">They have launched an attack not on Milei, but on Argentina.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Leaving the Spanish in Argentina without an ambassador will be a decision that will go down in history,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cHow far are you going to take your diplomatic attack to defend your consort?<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span

limit?<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">S\u00e1nchez&#8217;s Spain is the EU country that buys the most gas from Russia, she doesn&#8217;t want to talk about that,\u201d she continued.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz JxVs2d ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">\u201cAnd they come here to be scandalized by what is happening between Ukraine and Russia.
