Sánchez addressed in Jordan efforts for a truce in Gaza with Al Sisi and Mahmud Abbas
The president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, held meetings in Jordan with the Egyptian president, Abdelfatah al Sisi, and that of the Palestinian National Authority (ANP), Mahmud Abbas, with whom he addressed the efforts for a truce in Gaza and to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe in the strip.
According to Sánchez on the social network X, during his meeting with Al Sisi, whose country is a key mediator between Israel and Hamas, he has conveyed his recognition to him for “his mediation efforts since the beginning of the conflict, to achieve a ceasefire and alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe” in the Palestinian enclave.
Sánchez also met with Abas on the sidelines of the International Emergency Response Conference for Gaza, held in the Dead Sea region (southwestern Jordan) with the main objective of agreeing “practical steps” for the delivery of aid to Gaza “in an immediate, adequate and sustainable manner.”
“He has reiterated his gratitude to me for Spain’s historic decision to recognize Palestine as a State. We are convinced that this step contributes to providing a political horizon to make the solution of the two States a reality,” the Spanish politician said in another message in X after his meeting with Abás.
Sánchez attended the Dead Sea conference, along with other heads of state and representatives of up to 75 countries and international, multilateral and NGO institutions, where he stressed the need to act urgently to alleviate the catastrophic situation in Gaza.
In Jordan, he held meetings with several international leaders and representatives, including the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, and King Abdala II of Jordan, who convened and organized the Dead Sea conference together with Al Sisi.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa
Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.
Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.
This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.
Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain
Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.
The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.
The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.
“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.
The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters
The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.
Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”
It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
