    What’s happening:

    During a diplomatic visit to the Middle East, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and expressed his concern over the escalating conflict in Gaza, describing the number of deaths as “truly unbearable.”

    Why it matters:

    Sánchez’s comments come amid international outcry over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. His call for an “urgent stop to the humanitarian catastrophe” highlights the growing pressure on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to reach a ceasefire and address the civilian toll of the conflict.

    Netanyahu’s response:

    In the face of criticism, Netanyahu defended Israel’s actions, stating that Israel is in a war that was provoked, suggesting that the military response was a necessary measure in the face of aggression.

    The bigger picture:

    This exchange underscores the complex dynamics of the Israel-Hamas war and the challenges of balancing international concern for human rights with the realities of ongoing hostilities. The international community continues to watch closely as efforts to mediate peace are underway.
