Foreign Minister Israel Katz urged Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to reverse their countries' decisions to recognize a Palestinian state.

"The brutal murder of six Israeli hostages by Hamas serves as a stark warning to any country that has recognized or is considering recognizing a Palestinian state after the October 7th massacre," said Katz.

"A Palestinian state would be controlled by Hamas, backed by Iran, and would become a radical Islamic dictatorship, threatening Israel and moderate nations in the region. I urge you to reverse this dangerous step," he added.
