Hosted in Madrid, Arab, Turkish, and European officials discussed a two-state solution for Israel-Palestine and urgent humanitarian aid for Gaza.

Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said that his country is “supporting” all ceasefire efforts by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States to end the ongoing violence in Gaza.

Albares’s comments came after the Spanish government held a meeting with the Arab-Islamic contact group and European officials to discuss a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The meeting, hosted by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez at the Moncloa Palace, brought together the Foreign Ministers of Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, Norway, Turkey, and Egypt.

The Secretary-General of the Arab League, the Minister of State for Qatar, and EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell were also present.

Spain, along with Norway and Ireland formally recognized a Palestinian state in May, a decision that sparked a strong reaction from the Israeli occupation.
