SPAIN’S Conservative opposition leader, Santiago Abascal, tells Benjamin Netanyahu “NO prizes for terror, NO state for Palestine” when I am Prime Minister

After Pedro Sanchez, the Socialist Prime Minister of Spain, chose to recognize a “State of Palestine,” the leader of the right-wing opposition “VOX” party, Santiago Abascal, paid a visit to Israel, in sign of solidarity with the Jewish state. And from Jerusalem, he declared that when he is in charge of Spain, there well be “No prizes for terrorism. No state for Palestine.” “Places like Gaza will emerge in the heart of Europe in just a few years,” Santiago Abascal warned during his visit to Israel.

JNS The VOX Party, whose positions are nationalist and conservative, is now in third place in the polls, but steadily gaining strength because of the growing opposition in the country to Muslim migrants and Abascal’s desire to stop mass Muslim migration into his country. He would  reverse Spain’s recognition of a “state of Palestine.” As his party continues to grow, Abascal himself may be chosen to replace Sanchez.

“Pedro Sánchez is not Spain,” says Abascal about the Spanish prime minister. “Sánchez has placed Spain in a very problematic international position. He has embroiled us in accusations against Israel as a way to deflect from his domestic political woes. His decision was made without consulting anyone, and he rewarded the terrorism of October 7. Sánchez stands alongside Spain’s enemies—the terrorists and communists funded by Iran.”

He is an ignoramus who understands nothing, knows nothing of Israel’s history, and also does not respect the history of Spain. Sanchez has re-established his country’s ties with the Communist dictators of Venezuela and Cuba.

We understand the profound importance and connection Jerusalem holds for the Jewish people, and we recognize the value in that. We need to be sensitive to Israel’s position because we went through a similar experience in 713 with the Muslim conquest of Spain.

It took us five long centuries to expel the Muslim forces, yet even today the Islamic world lays claim to territories like Cordoba. It has become a symbolic issue for them, akin to the struggle over Jerusalem.

Unfortunately, the Spanish people did not see the images of October 7. I saw them. They are images that cannot be forgotten. It was the most horrific terrorist attack on humanity—the satanic terrorism of Hamas, seeking destruction. They teach and instill evil.

We have already seen such satanic acts like the 2015 Bataclan theater massacre in Paris, with mutilation of bodies and terror attacks in other cities. The problem of massive immigration means Europe is headed towards something unfamiliar and troubling. Places like Gaza will emerge in the heart of Europe in just a few years.

Islam does not respect democratic values, women, the LGBTQ community or Western culture. Muslims encourage crime and drugs in areas where police do not enter. They will cause civil conflicts, and we will see these populations detached from democratic values.

We Europeans need to see what is happening to Israel. As the Spanish proverb says: If they cut your neighbor’s face, it’s time to prepare and guard your own. Spain and Europe need to stop massive immigration and expel illegal immigrants. We do not want a Muslim Europe. And this is not out of xenophobia, but out of love for those who live in our countries today.
