Spain Prime Minister urges world to 'raise its voice' for Palestinians

Spain's Prime Minister on Thursday called on the international community to "raise its voice" to prevent the plight of Palestinians from being forgotten, during a meeting with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmud Abbas.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also repeated Madrid's support for a two-state solution, describing it as "the only possible solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Abbas thanked Spain for recognising the State of Palestine in May 2024 and praised Madrid's leadership in building an international coalition to expand recognition. He also called for an end to violence in Gaza and the West Bank.
