Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has called for the immediate evacuation of 1,000 Spanish civilians from Lebanon and urged Israel to cease its assault on the country.
Albares emphasized the availability of commercial flights for evacuations and revealed preparations for a possible evacuation by the Spain’s defense ministry.
In a strong statement, Albares condemned the land invasion of Lebanon, demanded the halting of Israeli operations in Gaza, and called for the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas.
Currently, Spain has 676 soldiers stationed in Lebanon as part of a United Nations peacekeeping mission.
