Spain criticizes EU Commission’s participation in Peace Board meeting

Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares criticized the European Commission’s attendance at US President Donald Trump’s inaugural Board of Peace meeting, calling it a “mistake.” He expressed his discomfort over the EU’s involvement, as it contravenes the EU’s support for a two-state solution and excluded the Palestinian National Authority. Albares emphasized that Spain declined the invitation due to concerns over the US peace plan’s compatibility with international law. He asserted that there are alternative paths to achieving peace in the Middle East.
