Spain's Second Deputy Prime Minister has sparked controversy by voicing support for a Palestinian state and making statements that align with the rhetoric of Hamas. The minister, Yolanda Diaz, declared, 'Palestine will be free from the river to the sea,' which has been interpreted as a call for the eradication of Israel and the genocide of Jews. This statement came just one day after the Spanish government announced its recognition of the State of Palestine. Jewish commentators and European political leaders have criticized Diaz for her remarks, which some have described as a call for genocide.
