The Spanish government issued a strong condemnation following Israeli military strikes on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza. In an official statement released by the Foreign Ministry, Madrid expressed deep solidarity with the families of the victims while wishing the wounded a quick recovery.
Officials in Madrid stated that the military operation against the medical facility represented a grave breach of international humanitarian law. The ministry added that the bombardment also violated a ceasefire agreement reached in October 2025.
The statement emphasized that the Geneva Conventions provide strict protections for hospitals and medical staff during armed conflict. Medical infrastructure can never be treated as a military target under any circumstances, according to the ministry.
Describing conditions inside the enclave as unacceptable, the Spanish government warned that the humanitarian situation continues to worsen. The ministry pointed to the systematic destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system alongside the first reported fatalities in refugee camps as winter temperatures drop.
Madrid called on Israel to permit the urgent and massive entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. Officials stated that this assistance is necessary to alleviate civilian suffering and must comply fully with international law.
The Spanish administration reiterated its dedication to achieving regional peace and stability. The government confirmed it is cooperating with international partners to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration, both aimed at advancing a lasting two-state solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
