Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is set to embark on a diplomatic mission to the Palestinian Territories and Israel, according to an announcement made by his office on Monday.
The visit is scheduled for this coming Thursday.
Sánchez, who recently secured a new term in office, will be accompanied by his Belgian counterpart, Alexander De Croo, representing the rotating presidencies of both the current and upcoming European Union Councils, as reported by Reuters.
During their visit, the two leaders are expected to hold meetings with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
This diplomatic visit underscores Spain’s commitment to engaging with key stakeholders in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
It comes at a crucial time when regional stability and peace efforts are of paramount importance.
Sánchez’s discussions with Palestinian and Israeli leaders are likely to touch upon a range of critical issues, including the peace process, regional security, and economic cooperation.
The European Union has consistently played a significant role in facilitating dialogue and fostering peace in the region.
The visit also signals Spain’s dedication to maintaining strong diplomatic ties in the Middle East and seeking opportunities for cooperation and collaboration.
As the Spanish Prime Minister and his Belgian counterpart engage in these high-level talks, the international community will closely watch their efforts to contribute to the resolution of longstanding conflicts and promote peace and stability in the region.
