The Spanish government condemned the Israeli government's approval of the construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank on Friday, considering this move a flagrant violation of international law, undermines the chances of achieving a two-state solution, and poses a direct threat to peace in the region.
The Spanish government also expressed, in a statement published by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, its "deep concern" over the escalation of Israeli military aggression in the West Bank, including in the Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams refugee camps, along with ongoing demolitions, increased settler violence, and the forced displacement of thousands of Palestinians, all of which constitute violations of international humanitarian law.
The Spanish government stressed that achieving peace in the Middle East requires the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state encompassing the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
