Sánchez sees Netanyahu's explanations as “insufficient” in the face of an “unacceptable” bombing

Pedro Sánchez has denounced as “absolutely unacceptable” the attack by the Israeli army that last Monday caused the death of seven collaborators of the NGO of Spanish chef José Andrés in the Gaza Strip. In a press conference in Doha with the Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohamed bin Abdulrahman al Zani, the Spanish president described as “insufficient” the explanations provided in this regard by the Israeli Prime Minister, Beniamin Netanyahu. Sánchez, in fact, has referred to Netanyahu's “statements or supposed clarifications” in this regard.

“Of course, we are waiting for a much more detailed, much more detailed clarification of what the causes and why of this bombing were,” Sánchez warned. And he has stressed that, from what is known so far about this attack, "the Israeli Government knew of the action and itinerary of this NGO on the ground in Gaza."

The Chief Executive, thus, has criticized that this Israeli attack is “absolutely unacceptable”, and has demanded “a much more detailed clarification about what happened” from the Netanyahu government.

Sánchez has once again raised his tone against the prime minister of the Jewish State, with whom he has already had several diplomatic clashes since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out in the Gaza Strip. And even he has opened the door to making decisions about it. “We will see what actions we take regarding Prime Minister Netanyahu's government,” he said.

After stops in Amman (Jordan) and Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Sánchez completed his second tour of the Middle East in this term in Doha (Qatar) this Wednesday, once again in the midst of escalating tension in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. , with the perspective that Spain recognizes the Palestinian State before next summer.

Sánchez concluded his express visit to Doha with a meeting with the Emir of Qatar, Tamim Hamad Al Thani, with whom he shared his proposals to advance the recognition of the two States, Israel and Palestine, as the only solution to this entrenched conflict that now it also threatens to spread in this turbulent region of the planet.

The Spanish president has previously held a meeting with relevant women from Qatar and another with Spanish businessmen, before holding a meeting with his Qatari counterpart, Prime Minister Mohamed bin Abdulrahman al Zani, with whom he has shared the 'iftar', the traditional breakup. of fasting during Ramadan.
