Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez held a significant meeting in Madrid with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa and key officials from various Middle Eastern countries following the recent recognition of a Palestinian state by Spain, Ireland, and Norway. This diplomatic move, although criticized by Israel, marks a symbolic victory for the Palestinians and could potentially influence other Western nations to follow suit.
Mustafa expressed gratitude for Spain's recognition, emphasizing its role in strengthening the Palestinian resolve for a just and lasting peace. The meeting also included representatives from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Turkey, and Jordan, underscoring the collective support for Palestinian statehood.
