Spain: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez stated on Monday that the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will maintain its presence in southern Lebanon, despite recent hostilities, including direct attacks by the Israeli military. According to National Iraqi News Agency, Sanchez expressed strong disapproval of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent demand. Netanyahu had urged UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday to immediately relocate UNIFIL personnel from what he described as a perilous situation. In response, Sanchez, speaking at a forum organized by the Prisa Media Group in Barcelona, emphasized Spain's condemnation of Netanyahu's statements, asserting a steadfast objection to the Israeli Prime Minister's approach. The backdrop of these developments includes a broader condemnation by the European Union of the Israeli army's actions against UN peacekeepers in Lebanon. EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell has openly criticized Israel for its severe accusations against UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, including claims of anti-Semitism leveled by Israel against Guterres. Furthermore, in a move reflecting growing EU discontent with Israel's military policies, both Spain and Ireland have pushed for the suspension of the EU's free trade agreement with Israel, signaling a potential shift in economic relations amidst the ongoing geopolitical tensions.
