Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albarez said that bilateral relations between Jordan and Spain are at their best at this time.

He added, in a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, that he spoke with Palestinian Foreign Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh that Spain wants to effectively recognize the Palestinian state.

He pointed out that part of the aid that Spain will provide to UNRWA will reach Jordan in order to improve the conditions of Palestinians in the camps here in Jordan, where their number reaches 2.5 million.

He stressed the importance of an immediate ceasefire to facilitate the unconditional entry of humanitarian aid to stop the killing of Palestinians who are dying of hunger and not just from bombing.

He pointed out that no country should be above the law, referring to the Israeli occupation’s violation of international laws in this war and the killing of children and citizens, who are not just numbers and we will not forget them, and we must work to stop this tragedy.

He added, "Spain wants to hold an international peace conference, and there are more than 90 countries that support this initiative. We want to see Palestine as an independent, sovereign state enjoying security and peace. This is the commitment that Spain has worked on over the past years. This is an urgent need and not just an ideology."

He pointed out that since October 7, Spain has stopped issuing permits to supply weapons except to Tel Aviv and imposed sanctions.
