The Spanish and Irish prime ministers discussed recognizing Palestinian statehood on Monday, as the Israeli military warned tens of thousands of people in the southern Gaza city of Rafah to evacuate.

Irish leader Simon Harris posted on social media that both leaders are “eager to make progress on this very shortly” and “remain in close .”

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez emphasized on social media that a two-state solution is the “only way to achieve a future of peace, security and stability in the region.”

Meanwhile, without referring directly to the evacuation of Palestinians in Rafah, Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said he will meet his American counterpart Antony Blinken on Friday.

Speaking at a talk hosted by Europapress and McKinsey, Albares said he will discuss the situation in Ukraine and Gaza with Blinken.

“Because the government of Spain defends exactly the same principles in Ukraine as in the Middle East — we want a return to peace, but a peace that is just and that fits within the charter of the United Nations.”

Since autumn, Spain has been advocating for an international peace conference that would result in a viable Palestinian state recognized by the Western world.

While Spain’s diplomatic efforts to get the entire EU to recognize Palestine have so far failed, Ireland, Malta, Norway and Slovenia have also committed to recognizing the statehood bilaterally.

Earlier in the day, the Israeli military issued urgent evacuation orders to Palestinian residents and displaced individuals in several areas of eastern Rafah, urging them to immediately relocate to the town of al-Mawasi.

Since Oct. 7, 2023, the Israeli onslaught has killed nearly 34,700 Palestinians, caused a humanitarian catastrophe and pushed 85% of the population into internal displacement.

The EU’s top diplomat Josep Borrell said there was a “full-blown famine” in the north of Gaza and called for an urgent cease-fire in the blockaded enclave.

Good step, though it is coming too late


I commend Spain and Ireland for this.


Netanyahu has done everything humanly possible to kill any prospect of two state-solution, but it will eventually happen.


For people always blaming Palestinians for rejecting the two-State solution, it is the other way round

Laughable


In 1940s when Israel was to be created, there was a quest by US and UK for Palestine to be recognized as a state (country) and Israel to be recognized as one too, Israel agreed.
But Palestine refused, and Israel was established and recognized as an independent nation.

Later, 50 years after, Palestine is now seeking to be recognized as an independent nation, and US, UK and Israel has refused and I them on that.

Funny enough, neither Spain nor Ireland is a member of UN 5 parmenent security council member state.

If any of Russia, china, , US and UK are the one discussing this I would be taking them serious not irrelevant Spain and Ireland.


By the way, if US didn't recognize you as an independent nation, you ain't one

grin For the first time since October 7, the United States suspended the supply of ammunition and weapons to the Israeli occupation army. This has caused concern among the Israelis and officials are trying to find out the reason for the delay.

Earlier, 88 Democrats in Congress called on President Biden to reconsider the arms freeze if the Israeli occupation does not change its approach to the war in Gaza, especially regarding humanitarian aid delays.

The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is exacerbated by restrictions on aid delivery imposed by the occupying forces.

Concerns are raised about the possible consequences of the invasion in Rafah, where some 1.4 million displaced people are taking refuge.

These who call themselves ‘Jews,” who are not really Jews, but are in fact Satan: You should learn to call them by their real name, ‘Satan;’ you are coming face-to-face with Satan, the Arch Deceiver, the enemy of God and the enemy of the Righteous.

Jews, you have been a great and master deceiver, but God is going to pull the covers all off of you, and break your power.
