Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez delivered a landmark address as guest of honor at the 34th Arab League Summit, presenting a comprehensive four-point roadmap to resolve the Palestinian crisis while condemning the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Key Quotes from Sánchez's Speech:

1. "Palestine bleeds before our eyes. What's happening in Gaza and the West Bank cannot be ignored – not in Europe, nor anywhere in the world."

2. "Temptations to redraw the Middle East map by force will awaken the worst nightmares of the past."

3. On Gaza's toll: "50,000 dead, 100,000 wounded, and 2 million displaced since October 2023 – staggering, unacceptable numbers."

The Four-Point Action Plan:
1️⃣ Immediate Humanitarian Ceasefire

• Spain and Palestine co-drafting new UN resolution to lift Gaza's aid restrictions unconditionally

2️⃣ Legal Pressure on Israel

• Spain proposing UN General Assembly referral to International Court of Justice (ICJ) on compliance with humanitarian obligations

3️⃣ Two-State Solution Acceleration

• Endorsing France's proposed international forum for Palestinian statehood recognition

• Requires Arab-European consensus for unified global action

4️⃣ EU-Arab League Institutional Cooperation

• Demanding consistent application of international law without "double standards"

Strategic Context:

• Marks Spain's most assertive Middle East intervention since assuming EU Council presidency

• Aligns with growing European dissent over Gaza policy (Ireland/Norway recently recognized Palestine)

• Comes as ICJ weighs multiple cases against Israel
