In China, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says Beijing is the only global player he can see helping end wars in Iran and other places.
“I find it very difficult to find other interlocutors, beyond China, who can resolve this situation in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz,” Pedro Sánchez says, urging the Asian giant to do more on the diplomatic front.
Sánchez said that his country wants to avoid impunity for those who commit crimes in places like Gaza, where he says a “genocide” has been committed.
“International law is being violated today, fundamentally by one country: the government of Israel,” he says. “There is also an absolutely illegal response from the Iranian regime regarding a war that we have described from the very beginning as a mistake and an illegality.”
“Those of us who raise our voice against governments violating international law are being threatened,” Sanchez says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
