Madrid - Saba:
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called on Friday the international community to stop selling weapons to the Zionist enemy, denouncing the Zionist attacks on the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
Sanchez said in press statements, "I condemn the attacks carried out by the "Israeli" forces on the United Nations mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL)."
He added that Spain has stopped selling weapons to "Israel" since October 2023, calling on the world to take the same action to prevent further escalation in the region.
He continued, "I think it is urgent, given what is happening in the Middle East, for the international community to stop exporting weapons to the "Israeli" government.
The Spanish Ministry of Defense announced Friday that none of its soldiers participating in the UNIFIL force were injured, as Spain deploys 650 peacekeeping soldiers in Lebanon while the mission is led by a Spanish general.
It is noteworthy that the UNIFIL forces announced Thursday that two of its soldiers were injured by Israeli tank fire, and its headquarters in Naqoura, southern Lebanon, and neighboring sites were repeatedly shelled.
