AA News: Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez Calls Israel a “Genocidal State” and Vows to Cut Business Ties
May 16, 2025
The Spanish prime minister on Wednesday described Israel as a “genocidal state” and said Spain “does not do business with such a country,” marking his strongest language yet on the issue.
During a parliamentary question-and-answer session in Madrid, Pedro Sanchez responded to criticism from Gabriel Rufian, a Catalan member of parliament, who accused the Socialist leader of maintaining trade ties with Israel despite the Gaza war.
“I want to make one thing clear here, Mr. Rufian. We do not do business with a genocidal state, we do not,” Sanchez stressed.
“I believe that the other day, from this platform, I explained precisely what we were talking about when some things were mentioned that do not correspond to the truth,” he added.
