[HIGHLIGHTS] In Spain, support for the Palestinian cause is a “long tradition”

Madrid will grant emergency aid of 3.5 million euros to UNRWA. This was announced on Monday February 5 by the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs.

17 countries, led by the United States, Japan and Germany, have suspended their payments to the organization. Spain will not be one of them, declared the minister before the Congress of Deputies. This support, which goes against the grain of most European countries, reflects the position Madrid has adopted since the start of the Israeli response to the October 7 terrorist attack.
