The Spanish prime minister has called Israel’s military actions in Gaza a threat to world stability, the Times of Israel reports.
Speaking to the Spanish congress, Pedro Sanchez said Israel’s response was “disproportionate” and risks “destabilising the Middle East, and as a consequence, the entire world”.
Recognising a Palestinian state was “in Europe’s geopolitical interests”, he said.

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks.
Its figures do not differentiate between civilians and fighters, but it says the majority of those killed were women and children.
