Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu launches 'Operation Eternal Darkness' in Lebanon, rejecting a ceasefire agreement and vowing to continue attacks.

The episode opens with news of Israel's 'Operation Eternal Darkness' in Lebanon, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who rejects a ceasefire agreement announced by mediator Pakistan. Netanyahu asserts that Israel has more objectives to achieve and is prepared to attack. Iran responds by threatening to resume attacks on Israel, with its parliamentary president denouncing three violations of the ceasefire: exclusion of Lebanon, a drone incursion into Iranian airspace, and Trump's statement on uranium enrichment. Reuters reports that an Iranian delegation is expected in Islamabad, while Netanyahu vows to continue the offensive. The U.S. administration faces internal criticism, as Vice President J.D. Vance travels to Pakistan for dialogue with Iran, and MAGA supporters question Trump's mental health and strategy. The White House spokesperson, Caroline Leavitt, states that the U.S. discarded Iran's ten-point proposal, which included uranium enrichment rights. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez condemns Netanyahu's attack on Lebanon, calling for the EU to suspend its association agreement with Israel and include Lebanon in the ceasefire. The EU and member states, including Spain, issue a statement supporting this. NATO Secretary General Marrute visits Donald Trump to address U.S. displeasure over lack of alliance support in the war against Iran, with the Wall Street Journal reporting potential U.S. troop withdrawals from bases in Spain and Germany. The episode shifts to domestic Spanish news, covering the 'Mascarillas' corruption trial, where testimonies include claims of 90,000 euros in cash delivered to Ferraz and alleged political appointments by ex-minister José Luis Ábalos. Witness Claudia Montes, a former Miss Asturias, defends her work reading about trains during office hours. The trial also involves businesswoman Carmen Pano, who alleges delivering money to Ferraz. Opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo links tax collection to corruption and immigration, promising to lower IRPF if elected. The episode concludes with international updates: Hungarian elections where Viktor Orbán faces potential defeat, a Guardia Civil report on a train derailment in Adamus ruling out sabotage, and the AENA literary prize awarded to Argentine author Samantha Schuebling for her short story collection 'El buen mal'.
