Iraqi authorities on Wednesday condemned Israeli strikes that killed dozens in Lebanon, saying they indicated that Israel was seeking to scupper the two-week ceasefire agreed by Iran and the United States.

“The government expresses its condemnation of the brutal attacks that the Zionist occupation army committed against civilians in a number of Lebanese cities,” Iraqi government spokesman Bassem al-Awadi said in a statement.

The Israeli government’s “continued aggressive approach that seeks to perpetuate conflict… is evidence of its hostile plan to sabotage the truce”, he added.
