Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is now the most senior European leader to describe Israel’s campaign in Gaza as a genocide, as rescuers reported Israeli forces killed at least 65 people on Thursday.

Sanchez said Gaza was in a “catastrophic situation of genocide” and urged the European Union to immediately suspend its cooperation deal with Israel. The comments represent the strongest condemnation to date by the Spanish premier, an outspoken critic of Israel’s offensive who is one of the first European leaders, and the most senior, to use the term “genocide” to describe the situation in Gaza.

    Mr. Sanchez decided to run for re-election despite a corruption scandal, I can’t help thinking that his daily messages are aimed at diverting from his own conundrum.

      You know, I’d rather have him point out genocide as a distraction than ramble on about ‘stopping boats’, ‘unisex bathrooms’, or disability benefits.
