Beirut: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday shared a video on social media thanking a Palestinian girl and local artists for painting a mural of him in Gaza, reaffirming Spain's support for the Palestinian people. In the video, Sanchez responded to a message from a Palestinian girl named Layan, who unveiled the portrait of the Spanish premier that she and other artists painted amid the destruction in Gaza.

According to Anadolu Agency, Sanchez expressed gratitude to the artists for the gesture and thanked the Palestinian people for their affection toward Spain. He addressed the video message by acknowledging the effort made by Layan and other artists, highlighting the importance of their action amidst the difficult circumstances in Gaza.

"In the midst of so much pain, you found a moment to send us your kindness. So, to Layan, to all the boys and girls of Gaza, and to your families, I want to say something very simple: the whole of Spanish society hears you, sees you, cares about you, and does not forget you," Sanchez stated. He further expressed his hope for a peaceful future where the children of Gaza can return to painting without fear in their schools.
