Spanish Prime Minister on Wednesday known as Israel a “genocidal state” and declared that Spain “does not do business with such a country,” in his strongest remarks thus far on the difficulty.
During a parliamentary question-and-answer session in Madrid, Pedro Sanchez responded to criticism from Gabriel Rufian, a Catalan member of parliament, who accused the Socialist chief of sustaining commerce ties with Israel regardless of the Gaza conflict.
“I want to make one thing clear here, Mr. Rufian. We do not do business with a genocidal state, we do not,” Sanchez pressured.
“I believe that the other day, from this platform, I explained precisely what we were talking about when some things were mentioned that do not correspond to the truth,” he added.
According to the native media report, it was the primary time Sanchez publicly used the time period “genocidal state” – a phrase regularly employed by his far-left coalition companion, Sumar.
Sumar chief and Second Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz has repeatedly accused Israel of genocide and has known as for a freeze on commerce relations between Spain and Israel.
