She REALLY Said It ~ Spain’s Deputy-President Yolanda Diaz on Palestine

Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister, Yolanda Diaz, has recently made comments on the issue of Palestine that have caused a significant rift between Spain and Israel². Here are the key points: - Recognition of Palestinian State: Diaz celebrated Spain’s recognition of a Palestinian state along with Ireland and Norway. She called for the rest of the European Union to break all agreements and funds it has with Israel, to support investigations into war crimes, and to end the sale and purchase of arms. - Statement on Genocide: Diaz stated, “We will keep pushing from our responsibility as a government to defend human rights and put an end to the genocide of the Palestinian people“. - Controversial Slogan: Diaz ended her statement with the phrase “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea“, a slogan that has drawn allegations of antisemitism. - Consequences: In response to Diaz’s statement, Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Israel Katz, acted nearly immediately to prohibit the Spanish Consulate in Jerusalem from providing services to Palestinians. The Israeli Ambassador to Spain, Rodica Radian-Gordon, announced she would be leaving the country.
