This came in a post on the X platform, marking the first anniversary of Spain's official recognition of the State of Palestine.
"A year has passed since the recognition of the State of Palestine, and the suffering in Gaza is unbearable," Sanchez said. "Spain will continue to raise its voice more forcefully than ever to end the massacre the world is witnessing today."
Sanctions on Israel are expected to be on the agenda during Sanchez's meeting with Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golube in Madrid on Thursday.
On May 28, 2024, the Spanish government approved the decision to officially recognize the State of Palestine.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with full American support, has been waging a genocidal war in Gaza, leaving more than 177,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
