The Minister of Social Rights and 2030 Agenda, Ione Belarra, expressed her belief that pressure on Israel must persist to put an end to the "planned genocide" occurring in Gaza.
Minister Belarra also joined a march from the Israeli Embassy in Madrid to the US Embassy, denouncing Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip.
During a press conference, Belarra spoke out against Israel's military actions in the Gaza Strip, labeling them as "planned genocide". She emphasized the importance of immediate action from the Spanish and European governments to put a halt to the destruction of Palestinian lives.
Belarra called for increased pressure on Israel to declare a ceasefire in Gaza.
Belarra strongly believes that the first step for the new government in Spain should be to end diplomatic ties with Israel. Additionally, she urged them to join forces with South Africa and other countries in their efforts to bring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the International Criminal Court.
Belarra emphasized the urgency of this situation, stating that the ICC must issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu without delay.
