Sánchez Regrets Spain’s Lack of Nuclear Weapons to Punish Israel

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez made a sharp statement while commenting on Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip. According to him, the scale of Israeli attacks on the Palestinian enclave has become so destructive that the international community should have responded more harshly. Sánchez emphasized that the tragedy in Gaza is the result of a policy that cannot be justified and added that he regrets Spain’s lack of nuclear weapons that could serve as a factor of deterrence and punishment for crimes against the Palestinian people.

The prime minister’s remark came amid growing criticism of Israel in Europe and calls for increased diplomatic pressure. Sánchez had previously condemned the actions of the Israeli leadership, describing them as disproportionate and violating international law.

His words may spark wide international resonance, since mentioning nuclear weapons in the context of the Middle East conflict inevitably raises questions of global security. At the same time, in Spain, Sánchez’s statement has already found support among pro-Palestinian solidarity groups, who believe that stronger pressure on Israel is necessary.
