Madrid (AFP) – ‘The recognition of the State of Palestine as a State is a decision we do not take against anyone, least of all against Israel, a friendly people whom we respect’, says Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez, with his government poised to formally take the step alongside Ireland and Norway. He adds that ‘this decision reflects our outright rejection of Hamas’.
