MADRID, May 30: Spain and Slovenia called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the imposition of sanctions on Israel, during a joint press conference held Thursday in Madrid by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his Slovenian counterpart Robert Golob.

According to Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA), Sánchez stated that both governments agree on suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement, imposing an arms embargo, and enacting sanctions against individual Israeli officials.

He emphasised that Spain and Slovenia share a common stance on the humanitarian catastrophe facing the Palestinian people. He also reaffirmed that their formal recognition of the State of Palestine nearly a year ago was grounded in a commitment to human rights and international law.

“The two-state solution remains the only viable path forward – there is no alternative,” Sánchez said.

Golob echoed the call for urgent action, stating that Slovenia will continue working alongside Spain to defend the core principles of international law. He urged an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the swift delivery of humanitarian aid to the population. – TVS
