The Foreign Minister has suggested to Borrell that he study the possible collective actions that could be taken to force the Israeli authorities to comply with the decisions of the International Court of Justice.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has warned that the attacks by the Israeli government in recognition of the Palestinian State will have consequences “On time”. Moreover, he introduced High Representative Josep Borrell at the meeting of EU Foreign Ministers study possible collective actions that could be adopted to force Israeli authorities to comply with the rulings of the International Court of Justice, the most recent of which is the request for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Albares attended this meeting of the heads of diplomacy of the Member States for the first time since Spain announced this which is preparing for the formal recognition of Palestine in the Council of Ministers this week. Several of his colleagues (at least Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg) informed him that while they agree on the content of the decision, they have not shared the opportunity to do so at this time. Others, such as Slovenia, have announced that the process to do the same as Spain and Ireland will be completed “in the coming days”.
In any case, Albares is “positively surprised” by the response of other countries even realizing that everyone makes their own decisions “and I have no one to teach.”
The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs had published this a message on social networks. In it he warned: from now on 'we will harm anyone who harms us. The days of the Inquisition are over. The minister has described them as “unjustified provocations” and has said he would avoid “falling into them” because they also “divert attention from the fundamental issue, namely compliance with the Hague rulings.”
