Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMADRID – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says Madrid will recognize a Palestinian state including the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, unified under the Palestinian Authority with East Jerusalem as its capital.
In a televised address, he says Spain will not recognize any changes to Palestinian borders after 1967 unless all the parties agree on them.
“This is a historic decision that has one goal: to contribute to achieving peace between Israelis and Palestinians,” he says.
The Spanish government will formally approve the recognition later today.
