Spanish Foreign Minister to Al Jazeera: We support the establishment of a Palestinian state and have stopped arms exports to Israel. Albarez explained during a special interview with Al Jazeera that the call for the international peace conference is based on the two-state solution.

He pointed out that United Nations headquarters, schools and hospitals in the Gaza Strip were being bombed, and demanded a permanent and immediate ceasefire in Gaza because 27,000 Palestinians were killed in the war. He stressed his country's unwillingness to expand the scope of violence in the region, "and we must do what we can to prevent that"
