The city council of Barcelona, Spain’s second-largest city, has decided on Friday to suspend institutional relations with the Israeli regime until there is a permanent cease-fire in Gaza.
Mayor Ada Colau, Barcelona’s left-wing mayor who made the declaration, said “human rights are defended by taking sides, not by turning a blind eye.”
“It is time for the international community and the EU to recognise the Palestinian state. It is a valuable and important matter. We must do that with the EU,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
