• Pedro Sanchez officially recognized the Palestinian state, an action that blends opportunism and opportunity.
• There is a perception amongst the public that Israel is losing the public opinion battle.
• The creation of a Palestinian state is desirable but seems little feasible under the current circumstances.
• Spain may lose its traditional role as a bridge in the conflict following accusations of 'genocide' and threats from the Israeli Foreign Minister.
• For there to be peace and a Palestinian State, the dissolution of Hamas and the acceptance of Israel's existence by Palestinians is required.

Conclusion: Sanchez's recognition of the Palestinian state and the general perception that Israel is losing the public opinion battle may have consequences for Spain's role in the conflict. For a lasting solution, the dissolution of Hamas and recognition of Israel's existence by Palestinians is required.
