Hours after the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, announced the decision to recognize the Palestinian State next Tuesday, May 28, Vice President Yolanda Diaz revealed herself definitively by publishing a video in which she fully assumes the terrorist slogan of Hamas that calls for the elimination of the State of Israel.
On her social networks, the second vice president of the Government recorded a message in which she addresses the camera, with the flags of Spain and the European Union in the background, and celebrates the announcement of the recognition of the Palestinian State.
Far from stopping at this celebration, the vice president and member of the social-communist coalition of the Spanish Government goes further and points out that this recognition "cannot be the end of the road." She then utters the slogan of the Hamas murderers and rapists" Palestine will be free from the river to the sea."
El reconocimiento del Estado palestino es una cuestión de derechos humanos y legalidad internacional.
La situación en Palestina nos obliga a no quedarnos aquí. Tenemos que seguir trabajando para acabar con el genocidio y conseguir un alto el fuego. pic.twitter.com/Tk3fKZw5V2

In her video statement, Yolanda Díaz echoes the data on fatalities in the conflict falsified by Hamas terrorists and speaks of "genocide" against the Palestinians. Without making any mention of the terrorist raid of October 7, the vice president of the Spanish Government concludes her words with the infamous terrorist slogan that calls for the extermination of the Jewish people: "Palestine will be free from the river to the sea."
What does "from the river to the sea" mean?
"Palestine will be free from the river to the sea" is a Palestinian political slogan popularized in the 1960s and spread during anti-Jewish intifadas and pogroms. It is one of the slogans commonly used by Hamas terrorists, which by demanding Palestinian sovereignty from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea entails the suppression of the State of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish people.
The words of Vice President Yolanda Díaz represent another step in the hardening of relations between Spain and Israel after the announcement of the recognition of the Palestinian State. An announcement that was soon applauded by the Hamas terrorists, now aligned with the Government of Spain.
In recent weeks - the last time this Wednesday - Israel has called its ambassador in Spain for consultations on several occasions in the face of continuous attacks by the Spanish Government. From the Executive of Spain, for its part, there have been numerous signs of anti-Semitism, with members of the Government who have come to defend the terrorist attacks against the Jewish people.
Nuestra total repulsa a las declaraciones de Yolanda Díaz, Vicepresidenta Segunda del gobierno, al utilizar el lema de Hamás "desde el río hasta el mar". Esta expresión es un llamamiento claro a la eliminación de Israel, fomentando el odio y la violencia. Las proclamas… https://t.co/59br0hvp0I

Israel decides to "sever the connection" between the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem and the Palestinians in response to the vice-president: "Ignorant and hate-filled"
This Friday, one day after the pro-terrorist words of the Spanish Vice President; Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced that he has decided to "sever the connection between Spain's representation in Israel and the Palestinians," in response to Madrid's initiative to recognize Palestine as a state and the anti-Semitic comment of Minister Yolanda Diaz.
"In response to Spain's recognition of a Palestinian state and the antisemitic call by Spain's Deputy Prime Minister to not just recognize a Palestinian state but to 'liberate Palestine from the river to the sea,' I have decided to sever the connection between Spain's representation in Israel and the Palestinians, and to prohibit the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem from providing services to Palestinians from the West Bank," Katz posted on the social network X.

In his text, Minister Katz lashed out strongly against the message formulated the day before by Yolanda Diaz, second vice-president of the Spanish government and Minister of Labor. Minister Katz referenced the "antisemitic call" implied by the slogan used by Minister Díaz, whom he reminded of a reference to the history of Spain and the seven centuries of Muslim rule in part of the Iberian Peninsula (711-1492).
"If this ignorant, hate-filled individual wants to understand what radical Islam truly seeks, she should study the 700 years of Islamic rule in Al-Andalus—today's Spain," said the minister, who copied his message to the X network accounts of the president of the government, Socialist Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
