Spain has formally recognized Palestine as a state, a significant diplomatic move that aligns with the broader trend of European countries extending their diplomatic relationships with Palestine. Following this recognition, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez held talks with the Palestinian Prime Minister and welcomed a delegation of ministers from Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan, as well as Palestine's Foreign Minister, in Moncloa. However, Spain's foreign ministry has advised officials to refrain from using the term 'genocide' to describe Israel's actions in Gaza, as doing so could validate Palestinian asylum claims under Spanish law.
Anyway, so I'm sure everyone will agree that the funniest thing to happen this week was the Spanish folks realising that recognising a Palestinian state on paper while also accusing Israel of genocide means suddenly 2 million Palestinians will be eligible for asylum in Spain. So… https://t.co/BeocRfdRKU
Spain says stop lying and saying Israel is causing a genocide or they will have to take up to 2 million Palestinians and terrorists into their country under a 2020 law! Can't make this stuff up. https://t.co/izZ1ekxXvy
Spain's Ministry of Foreign affairs has asked ministers to stop accusing Israel of conducting a genocide, because under spanish law making that accusation grants every Palestinian a right to asylum in Spain. https://t.co/jOgu1DSmWa https://t.co/P6Xx9j9f2w
LMAO 🤣 1. According to Spain's 🇪🇸 supreme court ruling, the country must admit any immigrant from a place where “genocide” takes place 2. Spain's prime minister accused Israel of “genocide” in Gaza 🇵🇸 3. Now 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are eligible to migrate to Spain 🤡
Spain: Stop Using ‘Genocide‘ for Gaza; It Gives Palestinians Asylum Claim https://t.co/D7gyNMpT8h via @BreitbartNews
Spain’s foreign ministry is warning officials to stop publicly suggesting that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza because doing so would provide evidence to validate potential Palestinian asylum claims and they don’t want to take in Palestinian refugees. https://t.co/Wn75eA5HMB
You cannot make that shit up Spain 🇪🇸 🤣 48h after recognizing the "state of Palestine" the Minister of Foreign Affairs asked its ministers to stop using the term "genocide" or they may be compelled to welcome 2 million Gaza refugees https://t.co/z3FeXQC1j1 https://t.co/ThM3QSnWiN https://t.co/lG2vdIrxv3
