[IsraelTimes] JTA — A Spanish politician who said that Palestinians have "the right to resist after decades of occupation" on October 7, when Hamas terrorists killed some 1,200 people in southern Israel and took at least 240 hostages, was named Spain’s minister of children and youth on Monday. Sira Rego, who has been a member of the European Parliament since 2019, has a Palestinian father who lives in the West Bank.
When Israel’s embassy in Madrid published a statement on October 16 criticizing "some members of the Spanish government" for their comments on the war, Rego wrote: "Nobody here has defended Hamas. You have been exterminating a people for 75 years." She also reposted tweets that said the "entire Israeli diplomatic delegation must be expelled from the Spanish State" and called Israel "undemocratic and corrupt." | |
