Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, an outspoken critic of Israel’s war in Gaza, calls for a state of Palestine to be admitted to the United Nations after a French-led summit on recognition.
“This conference marks a milestone but it’s not the end of the road. It’s only the beginning,” Sanchez says. “The state of Palestine must be a member.”
