Spain's foreign ministry condemned this week's attacks targeting mobile communications devices used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon, saying they constituted a violation of international humanitarian law and threatened the region's stability.
"We call for restraint on the part of all actors," the ministry said in a statement. "It's necessary to avoid a further escalation of violence and the risk of open war with unforeseeable consequences."
Spain's condemnation came hours after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas met with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Madrid.
The Spanish diplomacy seems to have forgotten that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, recognized as such by the European Union, of which Spain is a member.
The terrorists of Hezbollah, as well as those of Hamas, have no qualms about violating humanitarian law, planting bombs, and committing murders.
As the Spanish proverb goes: "Ridicule does not kill." Clearly, the Spanish government, very hostile to Israel, should reflect on this proverb.
