Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of Spain, which is a member country of the European Union, has said that his country recognizes the Palestinian state as an independent state. He announced this to the media at the Rafah border crossing during a visit with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo to Egypt and the Gaza Strip last Friday (24).
Prime Minister Pedro has also said that although he is willing to work with the European Union in other matters, Spain will accept Palestinian independence in the issue of recognizing Palestine as an independent state.
Making this statement at a moment when Qatar released 13 Israeli hostages by creating a humanitarian pause is significant.
Spain holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which Belgium will take over next January.
The Presidency of the Council of the European Union is responsible for the functioning of the Council of the European Union, which is the co-legislator of the EU legislature with the European Parliament. It is exchanged between EU member states every 04 months.
