Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez once again expressed support for Yamal, who waved the Palestinian flag, via social media.
Pedro Sánchez posted on social media today: "Those who believe that waving a country's flag is 'inciting hatred' are either insane or blinded by their own shame.
"Lamine merely expressed the solidarity of millions of Spaniards with Palestine. This is another reason for us to be proud of him."
Earlier, at a joint press conference in Madrid, when asked about Yamal waving the Palestinian flag during the championship parade, Sánchez emphasized the Spanish government's position: "Spain has recognized the State of Palestine."
He reiterated Spain's consistent policy stance: on the one hand, condemning Hamas's attacks from the outset, and on the other hand, strongly criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza, calling them "genocide," while also opposing illegal settlements in the West Bank.
