Spanish prime minister says Israel wants to inflict on Lebanon 'same destruction' as in Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "seeks to inflict the same level of damage and destruction" on Lebanon as Israeli forces had wrought on Gaza, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told lawmakers on Wednesday.

Sanchez, who appeared before the lower house to explain his government's stance against the US-Israeli war on Iran, also said that Iran's new supreme leader was more hardline than his predecessor.
