Pedro Sánchez gives the “welcome” to the peace plan that Donald Trump presented on Monday with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamín Netanyahu, in the White House. The president, who has led at internationally one of the most critical positions against Israel for the genocide in Gaza, applauds some of the aspects collected Palestine
Sánchez spoke about Trump's plan on Friday night, a few hours later that the US president appeared with Netanyahu to defend the proposal, which goes through the surrender of Hamas, with which the text has not been negotiated and that ensures that he will analyze it, but does not give neither deadlines or clarify the future of the Palestinian population.
And it is precisely on the way for Palestine in which Sanchez puts the emphasis on emphasizing that “the solution of two states, Israel and Palestine, living together with another in peace and security, is the only one possible.” That is the bet of the international community for decades and the one that appears in the UN resolutions, but that Netyahu and the ultras members of their government reject and threaten to frustrate. Neither has Trump be in favor of the proposal that, in the Last UN General Assembly, he described as a “Hamas terrorist award” award.
However, Trump's plan, which clearly establishes deadlines for the release of hostages and measures related to humanitarian aid and even with the establishment of an international stabilization force, does not assume that the process necessarily culminates in the solution of the two states, but is a conditioned possibility. “As the reconstruction of Gaza progresses and the reform program of the Palestinian authority is faithfully carried out, the conditions for a credible route towards self -determination and the creation of a Palestinian State could finally occur, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people,” the text collects.
“The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon that allows a peaceful and prosperous coexistence,” he adds at his last point. Sanchez has always defended the celebration of a peace conference, with the participation of Israel and Palestine, housed by the international community to end the conflict and that gives a horizon of “stability and security” to the region.
Beyond the emphasis on the fact that the solution must go through the two states, Sánchez's post in X goes in line with what other European leaders have shown regarding Trump's new plan and, above all, is a change regarding the criticism of the proposal to create the “Riviera de Oriente Middle” in the Gaza Strip that the Spanish president crossed out of “delusional”. However, the proposal maintains the intention of implementing “a Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza, calling for a panel of experts who have contributed to the birth of some of the prosperous modern miraculous cities of the Middle East”.
France, Italy or the United Kingdom also applaud
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry “greets the US Peace Plan proposal to end the war in Gaza, and calls the parties to commit to the end of violence.” “Spain calls to make all negotiating efforts to end war and reiterate its demand for a high permanent fire, the liberation of all hostages and allow the massive entry of humanitarian aid to stop a suffering that has already lasted too much,” says the department that José Manuel Albares directs, which “reiterates its support for efforts to achieve lasting peace in the Middle East, on the basis of the implementation of the implementation of the solution of the two States ”.
Other European leaders, such as the British Keir Starmer or Emmanuel Macron, have celebrated the new plan, which goes through the establishment of a transition government supervised by a 'Peace Board' chaired by Trump himself and of which other international leaders would be part, including the former British Minister Tony Blair, and which would later give way to the administration of the Enclave Palestine The ultra -rightist Giorgia Meloni, who in recent weeks has hardened her position with respect to Israel, sees a “turning point” in the new proposal, that the president of the European Council, António Costa, considers that “all parties must take advantage of to give a true opportunity to peace.”
