Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez reiterated his complete opposition to the ongoing war in the Middle East, labeling it as 'illegal' and asserting that there is no justification for the conflict. During his remarks, Sanchez emphasized the need for 'de-escalation' and highlighted the importance of transitioning to renewable energy in Europe, stating that Europe's domestic energy sources should not be reliant on oil or natural gas but rather on solar and wind energy.

Sanchez's comments regarding the Middle Eastern conflict reflect growing concerns in Europe regarding the humanitarian and geopolitical consequences of ongoing warfare in the region. As he called for a peaceful resolution, he also related the importance of renewable energy to the continent's energy security and sustainability goals, indicating that reliance on fossil fuels is both economically and environmentally unsustainable.

In addition to addressing the Middle Eastern conflict, Sanchez touched upon the situation in Ukraine, asserting that the European Union's commitments must be fulfilled. He expressed gratitude to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for demonstrating solidarity with Spain in discussions with US President Donald Trump, showcasing broader European support for Ukraine amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
