OFFICIAL STATEMENT 025

Escalating Violence in the Middle East

June 20, 2023
Spain condemns the violence which broke out yesterday in the Palestinian refugee camp of Jenin and expresses its regret at the raised number of civilians killed and wounded during the confrontations.

It also reiterates its firm disapproval of terrorism, while reiterating that the exercise of self-defence on behalf of Israel must be proportional and in accordance with international law.

The parties should avoid actions that could lead to an escalation of violence and seek solutions in the framework of the recent Aqaba and Sharm El-Sheikh statements.

Only through the realisation of the two-State solution will it be possible to meet the legitimate national aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis and create the framework for a just and lasting peace.
