According to a presidential statement, both sides also stressed the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid during their call.
Moreover, they emphasized the importance of advancing the two-state solution by expanding the recognition of the State of Palestine.
Israeli forces have blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid to Gaza, including food, medicine, and fuel, for over two months, easing restrictions only last week after mounting pressure from key allies.
Furthermore, Egypt and Spain urged mobilizing support for the Arab-Islamic plan to rebuild Gaza without displacing its residents.
Israel has killed at least 3,785 people since it unilaterally ended the January ceasefire and resumed its military offensive on Gaza in March.
Over the past 19 months, Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has killed over 53,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 120,000 others, according to the latest data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
On Sunday, Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty highlighted the positive developments in international support for Gaza and the West Bank during a Madrid Group ministerial meeting on advancing the two-state solution.
El-Sisi and Sanchez also affirmed the continuation of consultation and coordination between Egypt and Spain on various regional issues, given the significant role both countries play in restoring regional stability.
Their call also touched on the situations in Syria, Lebanon, and Libya, asserting the importance of preserving these brotherly countries' unity, territorial integrity, and security.
They also expressed their commitment to building on the positive momentum in bilateral relations, which was highlighted by President El-Sisi’s visit to Madrid in February.
