Spain will for the first time with an honorary consulate in the Gaza Strip, as published on Monday the Government in the Official Gazette. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has authorized the creation of that office, which dispatched an honorary consul to "reinforce the presence of the Consulate General of Spain in Jerusalem in that area", as explained in the BOE.
In 2005, the State of Israel withdrew from Gaza, a territory occupied since 1967. Following his victory in the legislative elections, the Islamist group Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007. Some 50 Spanish live there, especially donors, plus some journalists, consular sources said. The new consulate will open in the coming months. There is still no specific date. Recently it has started the process for selecting an honorary consul occupying the seat.
"The idea is to have an office in Gaza honorary consular enabling them to offer more consular assistance to the Spanish colony in the Gaza and those who do not live there but they are for different reasons in Gaza and Jerusalem consulate assist in other consular functions, "say diplomatic sources in Israel. "This reinforces the consulate leeway especially in crisis situations, as the last Israeli military operation, Pillar of Defense, in which the border may be closed without notice, or when quick action is required," added .
From that honorary consulate will also assist those Gazans applying for a visa to enter Spain. Is the consulate in Jerusalem that processes these documents for transit to the residents of the Strip, the vast majority can not enter Israeli-controlled territory. So far, the Gazans requesting visas through courier companies. When the new open honorary consulate will be your responsibility on to receive requests to send for processing to Jerusalem.
The corresponding royal decree of 2007, states that honorary consular offices are run by people who "will not be a career consular officer, and that the case be of Spanish nationality, does not belong to any of the government". Act, in short, "as auxiliaries or official delegates dependent race. Therefore, its powers shall in each case determined by the instructions that it received ".
