A rogue nation fighting with everyone
With the genocidal attacks in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing in Lebanon, Israel's international isolation is deepening. While many states, particularly European countries, are increasingly criticizing Israeli aggression and allegations of human rights violations, the rogue state is responding to these reactions with an aggressive dose of "diplomatic fighting."
The rogue state of Israel, which committed genocide in Gaza, massacred over 300 people in Lebanon in a single day, bombed Iran, Iraq, and Yemen, and continues its occupation of Syria, has launched a "diplomatic fight" with countries that warn and criticize it for its violations of international and humanitarian law. Just last week, the occupying power engaged in diplomatic clashes with numerous countries in Europe and Asia. After attacking the South Korean Prime Minister for protesting the oppression of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, the occupying power also clashed with Spain and Italy. These developments are seen as a sign of Israel's increasing isolation, not only in the eyes of the world public but also among individual states, due to its crimes against humanity.
Attack on Spanish and Italian soldiers
Last week, the detention of a Spanish soldier serving with the United Nations peacekeeping force (UNIFIL) in Lebanon by Israeli soldiers and their firing on an Italian convoy triggered a new crisis in relations. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto stated that these actions against UNIFIL forces were unacceptable and demanded an explanation from Israel. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expressed concern about the escalating tension, saying, "We don't want a second Gaza." The Roman government summoned the Israeli ambassador to the Foreign Ministry to deliver a formal protest. A similar step was taken by Madrid, where the Spanish government described the events as "unacceptable."
VIRTUALLY A DECLARATION OF WAR
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming that Spain has repeatedly opposed Tel Aviv, stated that he decided to remove Madrid from the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) located at the Kiryat Gat military base in southern Spain, which the US established to oversee the Gaza agreement. Spanish Health Minister Monica Garcia Gomez described Netanyahu, who has threatened her country and accused her of waging a "diplomatic war," as a "genocidal" figure, adding that opposing him is a source of pride for Spain. It is known that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has repeatedly criticized Israel for the Gaza genocide, the wars in Lebanon and Iran, and has called on the European Union to suspend trade agreements with the country. Meanwhile, yesterday, Israel summoned Spain's Chargé d'affaires in Tel Aviv, Francisca Pedros Carretero, to the Foreign Ministry following the burning of a Netanyahu effigy at a festival in Malaga, Spain, in protest against the Gaza genocide. The occupying forces, by labeling the protest as "anti-Semitism," once again attempted to resort to antisemitism.

South Korea was also targeted
Israel clashed with South Korea in Asia the other day. Relations were strained after President Lee Jae Myung shared a video critical of Israeli soldiers' violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, prompting a threatening demand for a "correction" from Tel Aviv. Lee Jae Myung stated on Saturday that Israel had not "self-criticized" itself regarding allegations of human rights abuses by its own forces. This statement came after Israel criticized him for spreading "misinformation" on social media. In his post, Lee said, "We need to find out if this is true and if so, what measures are being taken. The abuse of women forced into violence (in war), which we oppose, is no different from the Holocaust or wartime massacres." Lee's post quickly garnered nearly 3.5 million interactions within the country.
The occupying power accused France of a hostile attitude
Israel announced it would halt all defense supplies from France, accusing the country of displaying a "hostile attitude" towards it. Israeli Defense Ministry Director General Major General Amir Baram confirmed this decision in an interview with Channel 12 News on Tuesday. Baram stated that this was part of a broader policy to reduce cooperation with countries that take actions against Israel. French Prime Minister Sebastian Lecornu responded by saying that they currently do not sell weapons to Israel.
