ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sensationally kicked Spanish officials out of a key regional base, accusing the country of “slandering” the brave soldiers of the IDF.
In a blistering statement released today, the Israeli leader hit back at Madrid’s repeated criticism of his nation’s military operations, declaring that he will no longer tolerate “hypocrisy and hostility” from European partners.
‘Highest Moral Standards’
The PM didn’t hold back, mounting a fierce defense of his troops following what he described as a smear campaign by the Spanish government.
”Spain has slandered our heroes, the soldiers of the IDF—the soldiers of the army with the highest moral standards in the world,” Netanyahu declared.
As a direct result of the diplomatic fallout, Netanyahu confirmed he has ordered the immediate expulsion of Spanish representatives from the vital coordination center in Kiryat Gat.
Pay the Price
The move marks a new low in relations between Jerusalem and Madrid. Netanyahu made it clear that those who side against Israel in its fight against terror will find themselves frozen out of the Middle East’s future.
”Anyone who attacks the State of Israel instead of terrorist regimes will not be our partner in matters concerning the future of the region,” he warned.
The PM signed off with a chilling message to any other nations thinking of following Spain’s lead: “I do not intend to allow any country to wage a political war against us without paying the price for it.”
