The Foreign Minister urges a permanent ceasefire, the immediate and massive entry of humanitarian aid, and the release of all hostages.

Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has condemned the Israeli government's decision to occupy Gaza City, believing that this will only cause more destruction and suffering. He has therefore stressed that the solution to this conflict lies in the recognition of the two states.

Through his X account, the minister has spoken out about the decision of Benjamin Netanyahu's government to undertake a military offensive in the Gaza Strip that includes the occupation of the enclave's eponymous capital based on premises such as its demilitarization and Israeli control of security.

We strongly condemn the Israeli government's decision to escalate its military occupation of Gaza. It would only lead to further destruction and suffering. A permanent ceasefire is urgently needed, along with the immediate and massive entry of humanitarian aid and the release of all hostages, was the message, reported by Europa Press.

Subsequently, in another publication, the foreign policy official warned that definitive peace in the region will only be achieved, he said, by establishing a two-state solution, including a realistic and viable State of Palestine.
