Spanien fordert Freiheit für Geiseln: Ein Jahr nach den Terroranschlägen

Amid the ongoing conflict, the Spanish government is calling for the immediate release of hostages still held by Hamas and urging a ceasefire to facilitate humanitarian aid access in Gaza. This plea comes one year after the harrowing attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which led to the deaths of over 1,200 people and the capture of 240 hostages. In a statement from Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, officials echoed their “strongest condemnation” of the terrorist acts and expressed solidarity with the families of the victims, particularly two Spanish citizens who lost their lives during the assaults.

The Israeli military has been actively responding since the initial attacks, resulting in significant casualties in Gaza, which now exceed 41,870. Moreover, the violence has spilled over into the West Bank, with more than 750 Palestinians reportedly killed in confrontations with Israeli forces or settlers. The Spanish government has vowed to continue its efforts against antisemitism and all forms of discrimination while advocating for lasting peace in the Middle East, emphasizing a two-state solution as a pathway to stability, as detailed in a report from www.infobae.com.
