The Spanish Government has issued a strong condemnation of the recent attacks on United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) positions, particularly highlighting the threat to the physical safety of the Spanish contingent. These incidents, described as a severe escalation, have raised significant concerns. Additionally, Spain expressed deep unease over Israel’s unilateral decision to construct a wall within Lebanese territory, which breaches the Blue Line demarcation established by the United Nations. This action is seen as a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. In its statement, Spain urged Israel to adhere to its obligations under international law and the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024. The government emphasized that the effective implementation of the two-state solution for Palestine and Israel is crucial for ensuring lasting peace and security in the Middle East. Furthermore, Spain reaffirmed its commitment to Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and stability, as well as its support for the full implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701. Spain also reiterated its backing for the UNIFIL mandate, underscoring its vital role in achieving these objectives.
