Spain condemned the strikes on Nasser Hospital in Gaza

Statement by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Israel's strikes on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, calling them 'yet another serious violation' of international humanitarian law. In the statement, cited by the Anadolu agency, the ministry expressed solidarity with the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded.

Violation of the ceasefire and the Geneva Conventions

Madrid stated that the attack also violates the ceasefire reached in October 2025. The ministry recalled that the Geneva Conventions 'protect hospitals and medical personnel in wartime' and stressed that medical facilities 'can never be considered military targets'.

Humanitarian situation and Madrid's demands

Spain described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as 'unacceptable' and 'continuing to deteriorate' — due to the strikes on and destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system, as well as the first deaths in refugee camps amid falling temperatures with the onset of winter. Madrid demanded that Israel allow the 'urgent and large-scale entry of humanitarian aid' into the Gaza Strip to alleviate the 'suffering of the Palestinian population' in accordance with international law. Spain also reaffirmed its 'firm commitment to peace and stability' and said it continues to work with partners on implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration, which are aimed at advancing a two-state solution — Israel and Palestine.
