The Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katzhas accused this Tuesday the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, of being “complicit in inciting Jewish genocide” by recognize the Palestinian state and for not firing Vice President Yolanda Díaz when she said that “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea“.

In this way, the minister has equated the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, with the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, and with the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, and has accused the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of “accomplice” in inciting the murder of Jews for not stopping it.

In a first reaction after the president’s announcement of the official recognition of Palestine as a State, Katz has published a message on X, the former Twitter, in which he presents a photo montage of Díaz, Khamenei and Sinwar and emphasizes that the three “call for the disappearance of the State of Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian Islamic terrorist state from the river to the sea.”

Expressly addressing Sánchez, he points out that “by not firing Yolanda Díaz and announcing the recognition of the Palestinian State, he is complicit in inciting the murder of the Jewish people and war crimes.”

Katz had already spoken out harshly against Díaz’s words in recent days, after the vice president and leader of Sumar published a video in support of the recognition of the Palestinian State in which he maintained that “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea”, interpreting that he was using a slogan that does not recognize Israel since it claims the territory that goes from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

Sánchez insists that “it is not a decision against anyone”

The President of the Government made an institutional statement before the Council of Ministers where he described the recognition of the Palestinian State as a “historic” decision. However, he highlighted: ““It is not a decision that we make against anyone.”

“It is a historic decision for Israelis and Palestinians to achieve peace“, he pointed out. “We do not adopt recognition against anyone. “We do not adopt it even less against Israel, a friendly people that we respect and appreciate and with which we want to have the best possible relationship,” he assured, wanting to calm the waters with the Jewish State that has been attacking Spain for weeks.

He also wanted to make it clear that “this decision reflects the frontal and profound rejection of Hamas, that is against the two-state solution.
