Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares has called for international sanctions on Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza, as the humanitarian crisis worsens with escalating Palestinian deaths and shortages of essential supplies. The upcoming Madrid meeting, involving 20 countries and international organizations, aims to promote a two-state solution and prepare for a UN conference on recognizing Palestine as an independent state. With nearly 54,000 reported deaths in Gaza, there is increasing pressure on European nations to reconsider their support for Israel and advocate for an immediate ceasefire.
