Spain's social rights minister expressed support Wednesday for a legal initiative against Israel's "war crimes" in Palestine.
Minister for Social Rights Ione Belarra backed the initiative by French lawyer Juan Branco, who wrote Monday on X: "We’ve been asked to represent dual-nationals from Palestine and European countries, both in national jurisdictions and at the International Criminal Court."
Branco agreed to represent "any victim of war crimes or crimes against humanity as well as any member of their family” free of charge.
Belarra encouraged all victims and their family members to contact Branco to bring Israel's crimes "before the International Criminal Court."
Belarra is one of the European politicians who speaks out against Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
“Bombing hospitals, refugee camps, children, defenseless elderly people, Israel is demonstrating the worst of humanity. How long will European leaders make us accomplices of this barbarism,” she wrote earlier.
Israel launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestine resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7.
At least 10,569 Palestinians, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women, have been killed.
The Israeli death toll nears 1,600, according to official figures.
