The Israeli minister of the diaspora and fight against anti -Semitism, Amichai Chikli, said Thursday that the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, is “an anti -Semitic” for having encouraged the international community to recognize the Palestinian state “Just after the massacre of October 7.”
“I think that encouraging a Palestinian state just after the massacre of October 7 is an anti -Semitic posture,” Chikli said at a press conference at the end of the International Conference to Combat Anti -Semitismorganized by the Israeli government in Jerusalem with the presence of extremely right euros.
Asked about the presence of Vox Eurodiputados in the appointment, Chikli said he is a “personal friend” of the leader of this party, Santiago Abascal, unlike Sánchez. “I think Sánchez is an anti -Semitic. I don’t want any connection with Sánchez, I don’t respect Sánchez. I think calling a Palestinian state just after October 7 is a prize for terrorism, “he reiterated. The minister visited Spain in May 2024 to attend a convention of the ultra -rightist party in Madrid.
The minister has stressed that “Sánchez is not a friend of the state of Israel, he is nobody to combat anti -Semitism, he is a propalestine.” The president of the Government recognized the state of Palestine in May 2024.
