Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez hits out at Israel in his speech to the United Nations, as he decries “wars of agression” in Ukraine, Lebanon and Iran.

He notes the the arm embargo that Madrid imposed on Jerusalem and says his government “condemns without qualification the genocide that Netanyahu continues to perpetrate genocide in Gaza.”
