Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz issued a strong public criticism of a key member of the Spanish government this morning.
Spain's prime minister has given a public address this morning in which he said the move to recognise Palestinian statehood was necessary to establish stability in the region. In a video posted on social media last week, Yolanda Diaz, Spain's left-wing deputy prime minister and labour minister, used the controversial expression "Palestine will be free from the river to the sea".
Pedro Sánchez said it was a matter of "historic justice", as well as an "essential" step towards a lasting peace. Writing in Spanish on X, Katz compared Diaz's views with the leaders of Hamas and Iran, saying they called for "the disappearance of the State of Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian Islamic terrorist state from the river to the sea".
He said Spain would join around 140 other countries around the world which have already recognised Palestinian statehood. By not firing her and recognising a Palestinian state, Katz accused the Spanish prime minister of being complicit in inciting "in inciting the murder of the Jewish people and war crimes".
Later today, he will meet with his ministers where the diplomatic move will be formally signed off. Israel has been strongly critical of Spain's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood, which it says will embolden Hamas.
