Spain Condemns Israeli Bombings of Gaza Hospital as Violation of International Law

Khan Younis:Madrid Spain has strongly condemned the Israeli bombings of Nasser Hospital located in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, labeling the incident as "another serious violation" of international humanitarian law.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, the Spanish government issued a statement through its Foreign Ministry expressing the strongest condemnation of the attacks against the hospital. The statement conveyed solidarity with the victims' families and extended wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured.

The Spanish government emphasized that the attack on Nasser Hospital constitutes a grave breach of international humanitarian law and violates a ceasefire agreement reached in October 2025. The statement highlighted the protections afforded by the Geneva Conventions to hospitals and medical personnel during wartime, underscoring that medical facilities should never be targeted as military objectives.

Furthermore, the Spanish Foreign Ministry described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as "unacceptable," noting its continuous deterioration due to the ongoing attacks and destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system. The situation is further exacerbated by the onset of winter, leading to the first deaths in refugee camps amid dropping temperatures.

In response to the crisis, Madrid has demanded that Israel permit the "urgent and massive entry of humanitarian aid" into the Gaza Strip to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian population, in line with international law. Spain also reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to peace and stability in the region and reiterated its efforts, in collaboration with international partners, to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration, both of which aim to advance a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
