Now Australia, Spain bat for recognising Palestine

Calling the conflict "one of the most deplorable humanitarian disasters of this century," Sanchez said in the Spanish Congress (lower house of Parliament) that "Israel's disproportionate response is overturning decades of humanitarian law and threatens to destabilize the Middle East and the world".
