Madrid (AFP) – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says the country is open to sending “peacekeeping troops to Palestine.” The Spanish government recognised the State of Palestine in 2024 and has been one of Europe’s most vocal critics of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, launched in the wake of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Speaking in Madrid, Sanchez says the deployment could happen “once we can see how to advance this task of pacification.”
