AhlulBayt News Agency: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called on countries around the world to recognize the state of Palestine and work towards granting it full membership in the United Nations, as well as ending the Israeli occupation.

Sánchez made these statements during his participation in the International Socialist Conference, held in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, from Friday to Sunday.

He emphasized the importance of achieving a “just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East,” stressing the need for “concerted efforts to address the escalating crises in various parts of the world, particularly in Palestine.”

Sánchez said, “The Israeli occupation must end, allowing the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, within the framework of a two-state solution.” He added, “We must end the suffering of the Palestinians and put a stop to the siege and restrictions on the lives of civilians.”

The “International Socialist” organization comprises socialist and “social democratic” parties from various countries, aiming to support democracy, reduce inequalities, and promote solidarity to achieve peace and stability. It was founded in Germany in 1923 and was re-established in its current form in 1951, currently including about 162 parties and organizations.

With U.S. support, Israel has been conducting a campaign of genocide against Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 152,000 martyrs and injured, the majority of whom are women and children, along with 10,000 missing under the rubble and in the streets, as Israeli occupation forces prevent rescue teams from reaching them, causing massive destruction to infrastructure.
