Pedro Sanchez, Spain's Prime Minister, has denounced "Israel's" [attempted] invasion of Lebanon, stating that the international community cannot "remain indifferent" to it.
The socialist leader told the Spanish parliament that the international community cannot remain passive to the obvious invasion of a sovereign nation like Lebanon.
"We denounced (this situation) in Ukraine, we also denounce it in Gaza and now we are also denouncing the invasion of Lebanon," he said.
Since February 2022, Spain has led the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), stationing 650 troops at the southern Lebanese border with occupied Palestine.
Sanchez has been one of the most outspoken European critics of "Israel's" war on Gaza, calling the number of Palestinians killed "truly unbearable" and expressing "genuine doubts" about whether "Israel" is following international humanitarian law.
The country has frozen military sales to the occupation and is seeking to rally other European cities around the concept of acknowledging a Palestinian state.

Israeli occupation forces have been attempting to infiltrate Lebanese border towns and territory since last Monday, paired with a vicious campaign of airstrikes and raids. However, Hezbollah fighters have maintained their positions and thwarted at least 24 Israeli incursions since battles started.
