Spain says to join South Africa’s Gaza genocide case against Israel at ICJ
Making the announcement on Thursday, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said, “We made this decision in light of the continuation of the military operation in Gaza.”
“We also observe with enormous concern the regional extension of the conflict,” he said in a news conference.
Spain took the decision to not only “let peace return to Gaza and the Middle East” but also due to its commitment to international law, Albares said.
“Our sole goal is to put an end to the war and to advance on the road of applying the two-state solution”, Albares said, a week after Spain, along with Ireland and Norway, recognised the state of Palestine.
The move by the three countries sparked Israeli fury, which accused them of “rewarding terrorism” and withdrew its ambassadors.
