He criticized and added: The withdrawal of UNIFIL forces will not happen.
The UNIFIL forces in Lebanon, which are currently under the command of the Spanish General Aroldo Lázaro Sines, reported at least four attacks by the Zionist regime army on the headquarters of this organization last week. These attacks happened at the same time as the “land aggression” of the Zionists spread to Lebanon. Spain has sent more than 600 peacekeepers to Lebanon. After these attacks, Sanchez asked the international community to stop sending weapons to Israel.
The request of Spain and Ireland has been raised while both countries recognized the independent state of Palestine earlier this year. Since the expansion of military operations and the aggression of the Zionist regime to Lebanon, at least 37 member states of the United Nations have officially condemned the brutal attacks of the Zionist regime on UNIFIL. According to the announcement of the Lebanese Ministry of Health, since the escalation of tension between the Zionist regime and the Lebanese Islamic resistance, more than 2,100 people have been martyred in this country.
