1. Wide, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares and Associated Press UN correspondent Edith Lederer
2. SOUNDBITE (English) José Manuel Albares, Foreign Minister of Spain:
"We cannot accept that the natural way for the people in the Middle East to relate is through war, through violence. There must be a way to peace and that’s the two-state solution. We all know that that’s a solution that will bring peace and stability for everyone in the Middle East, Palestinians, Israelis and others."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) José Manuel Albares, Foreign Minister of Spain:
"The State of Israel has a right to peace, to stability, to security. Israelis have a right to have a state, but the exact same right have the Palestinians. I don’t see why they should be condemned to be eternally a people of refugees. And finally, it’s out of mere humanity. What we are seeing is such an atrocity. It’s so horrible that we have to do as much as we can to stop this endless killing."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) José Manuel Albares, Foreign Minister of Spain:
"We want peace, we want justice, we need humanity and we say exactly the same things for exactly the same principles in Gaza or in Ukraine. The same things that we are engaged in against the war of aggression of Russia and Ukraine are the same things why we reject this endless war of Israel in Gaza because we defend peace, international law, human rights everywhere."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) José Manuel Albares, Foreign Minister of Spain:
"We are defending human rights, international law, international humanitarian law, the protection of the civilians, the fact that war cannot be a way of settling disputes among states. The voice of Spain today is really absolutely indispensable to continue giving hope and dignity to millions of people in the world, especially in Gaza."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) José Manuel Albares, Foreign Minister of Spain:
"When we decided to go for the recognition of the state of Palestine, we were first alone, then with Ireland, Slovenia and Norway, and today it’s a real wave. France, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, many other European Union countries. The same thing when we say that we cannot have a normal relation with Israel when you are a democratic country that believes in human rights, as long as this endless war continue. We were alone then with Ireland. Now many other European countries, countries around the world, say exactly the same thing."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) José Manuel Albares, Foreign Minister of Spain:
"The day that everyone will have recognized the state of Palestine, we will have to move forward. Secondly, I’m sure that we will find someday the right people for peace on the Israeli side. In the same way that we have found it in the Palestinian side with the Palestinian National Authority. Hamas is a terrorist organization. They don’t want to talk about peace. They don’t want a two-state solution. So let’s put aside the extremists and let’s look for the people that want peaceful and secure coexistence."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) José Manuel Albares, Foreign Minister of Spain:
"The people of Israel are friends of the people of Spain and vice versa. This doesn’t go, nothing of what we say, nothing what we do goes against the state of Israel or against the people of Israel. Everything we do is for peace and justice for the Palestinian people."
