Reaction to motion adopted by Spanish Parliament

    The Spanish parliament's lower house almost unanimously adopted a motion urging the Spanish government to recognize Palestine as a state. MFA Spokesman: This only encourages the Palestinians to take extreme positions.

    (Communicated by the MFA Spokesperson)

    The Spanish parliament's declaration only pushes away further the chances of reaching an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians because it encourages the Palestinians to take extreme positions. It would have been better had the Spanish parliament seen fit to denounce the abominable massacre in a Jerusalem synagogue carried out by Palestinians who were incited.
