Spain Rejects Ambassador Withdrawal from Israel: Dialogue Key to Peace, Says Foreign Minister

Spain's Foreign Minister dismisses calls to withdraw ambassador from Israel amid escalating conflict. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has prompted calls for international action, including the withdrawal of ambassadors from Israel. However, in a recent interview with SER Catalunya, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares firmly rejected this notion. "In these moments, no," Albares stated, emphasizing Spain's commitment to a two-state solution and the importance of maintaining dialogue with Israel. Albares highlighted the need for continued diplomatic efforts, drawing a parallel to Spain's approach to the Ukraine conflict. He stressed that Spain believes in dialogue as a means of achieving peace and that Israel is a necessary part of this process. This decision underscores Spain's commitment to diplomatic engagement in the region.
