FM accuses Spain’s Sanchez of being complicit in calls for genocide of Jewish people

As Spain prepares to recognize a Palestinian state later today, Foreign Minister Israel Katz accuses Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez of being complicit in calls to eliminate the Jewish people.
“Khamenei, Sinwar, and deputy PM Yolanda Diaz call for the elimination of Israel and for the establishment of an Islamic Palestinian terror state from the river to the sea,” writes Katz on X.
Diaz ended a speech last week with the slogan “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free,” and has said since it was an endorsement of the two-state solution.
“Sanchez, when you don’t fire your deputy and declare recognition of a Palestinian state — you are a partner to incitement to the genocide of Jews and to war crimes,” Katz writes.
