"Spain's PM Pedro Sanchez said the world should not let Lebanon 'become the new Gaza' - and said the Global South would be watching for double standards on the conflict - speaking in Madrid on Friday. "There are many countries in the so-called Global South that are looking at Europe and what they want is for us not to commit to these double standards, these double measures depending on the case, if it affects more or less Europe," he said. "Let us not allow a new Gaza in Lebanon. Because in the face of flagrant violations of international humanitarian law, Europe must act consistently if we also want the rest of the world to look at us and support us in the assistance we are providing to Ukraine." He also said the Europe needs it own army "not in ten not in ten years, not in two years, but now, tomorrow." Earlier, Israel expelled Spanish representatives from the Civil-Military Co-ordination Centre in Kiryat Gat, which oversees the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said: "Spain has defamed our heroes, IDF soldiers — the soldiers of the most moral army in the world."
