Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on Monday that he will ask the other 26 European Union member states to issue official backing to the International Court of Justice and take steps to ensure Israel respects its decisions.
“I am going to ask the other 26 partners to declare the backing of the International Court of Justice and its decision, and also, if Israel continues to pursue against that opinion of the court, we would try to take the right measures to enforce that decision,” he told reporters in Brussels during a joint news conference with his Irish and Norwegian counterparts.

We have to raise our voice: Spanish FM
Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares, addressing a news conference in Spain with his Irish and Norwegian counterparts, says:
“Yesterday’s bombing [on Rafah] is one more day with innocent Palestinian civilians being killed.
“This stresses what … the three of our counties have been calling for for a long time – an immediate ceasefire.
“But the gravity is even larger because it comes after a decision taken by the International Court of Justice that, once again, I want to recall, that are binding and compulsory for all parties.
“I think that this time, we have to raise our voice not only for an immediate ceasefire but also to back international law and the United Nations.”
