“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What’s needed now: diplomacy, international legality and PEACE,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez wrote on X. Reaffirming that the ceasefire is good news, he warned that the momentary relief should not lead them to forget “the chaos, the destruction and the lives lost.” “Diplomacy, negotiation and international law are the only paths to the lasting peace that the citizens of the Middle East deserve. All parties must show responsibility and commitment to ceasing attacks and de-escalating, which Spain will continue to support,” Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares also wrote on X.
