Dos Estados para alcanzar la paz
May 29, 2024

  • Spain, along with Ireland and Norway, formally recognized the State of Palestine in an action described as historic.
  • This recognition is given amid a conflictive climate with attacks by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.
  • The decision seeks to exert international pressure for Israel to cease its attacks against civilians.
  • The recognition of Palestine is also intended to encourage the similar decision of other European Union countries.
  • The decision is expected to prompt the peaceful coexistence of a Palestinian state alongside the state of Israel in peace and security.
  • The Spanish idea revolves around a negotiation no longer over the eventuality of a Palestinian state, but on the exact delimitation of the borders between both states.
  • The angry and unjust reaction of Israel's Foreign Minister, Katz, against Spain has provoked international indignation.

Conclusion: This decision by Spain marks a notable effort towards peace in the Middle East through the recognition of the State of Palestine and pressure for the cessation of attacks. However, significant resistance from the Israeli government is highlighted.
