MADRID, Dec. 20 (YPA) – Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, said on Wednesday that the time has come for Europeans to speak “clearly about the brutal Israeli attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip.

In a speech before the Spanish Parliament: Sánchez said: “I call on the Europeans to speak clearly and with one voice about the brutal Israeli attacks on Gaza, not because the world is watching us or because history will judge us, but because human beings are suffering.”

He added, “The young children of Gaza are suffering and losing their lives.”

Amid strong applause, Sánchez stressed the need for Spanish politicians to assume the task of recognizing the State of Palestine during his country’s term as president of the European Union until the end of this year.

“the European Union as a whole must recognize the State of Palestine,” Sánchez stated. “The bombing must stop immediately.”

He added, “Humanitarian aid must be able to reach people suffering from cold, hunger, and pain.”
