Attendees included Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa and the foreign ministers from Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, along with representatives from the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. The EU delegation included Borrell and the foreign ministers of Ireland, Norway, and Slovenia.
Sanchez emphasised the need for decisive international action towards a just and lasting peace. Albares reiterated that the two-state solution is essential for secure coexistence between Palestine and Israel.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz criticized Borrell's participation, accusing him of supporting a "Palestinian terror state" controlled by Iran. Borrell responded by rejecting the accusation of anti-Semitism, stressing that such terms should not be used lightly.
Calls for a two-state solution have intensified following the recent conflict in Gaza, which has resulted in significant casualties on both sides. Spain, under Sanchez, has been a strong advocate for Palestinian statehood and has recognized Palestine, with plans for further collaboration agreements between Spain and Palestine.
