MADRID, May 25 (ST) – The Spanish defence minister Margarita Robles said on Saturday that the ongoing Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip is a “real genocide”.

Her remark was made in an interview with TVE state television, according to Reuters.

“We cannot ignore what is happening in Gaza, which is a real genocide,” Robles said in the interview, adding that Madrid’s recognition of Palestine was designed to help “end violence in Gaza”.

Spain, along with Ireland and Norway, declared this week it would recogmize a Palestinian state on May 28.

Judges at the ICJ, the top U.N. court, on Friday ordered “Israel” to immediately halt its military assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, in a landmark emergency ruling in the case brought by South Africa accusing “Israel” of genocide.
