Pedro Sanchez has been one of the few leaders in Europe to condemn Israel’s war in Lebanon, US-Israeli war on Iran.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has said Israel “seeks to inflict the same level of damage and destruction” on Lebanon as on the Gaza Strip, as its army continues attacks across the neighbouring country amid plans to occupy its south.
In an address before the lower house on Wednesday, Sanchez also said his government stood against the United States-Israeli war on Iran, which presented a “far worse” scenario than the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
“This is not the same scenario as the illegal war in Iraq. We are facing something far worse. Much worse. With a potential impact that is far broader and far deeper,” he told parliament.
Sanchez added that Iran’s new supreme leader was more hardline than his predecessor. “Mojtaba Khamenei is an equally dictatorial and even more bloodthirsty tyrant than his father,” he said.
