In light of concerns about an unrelenting conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and a wider geographical issue, the UK authorities on Saturday urged its citizens to leave Lebanon.
American citizens should leave the Middle Eastern nation” then while professional options remain obtainable,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
” Hostilities are great, and the condition may crumble rapidly”, said Foreign Minister David Lammy.
My information to British nationals there is clear:” Let’s left now, even though we are working round the clock to develop our diplomatic presence in Lebanon.”
By sending “border power, diplomatic officials, and military personnel to the place,” the Foreign Office stated that it was” strengthening” its help for Britons there.
The government stated that the officials will provide “operational assistance to help British nationals” to military staff, while the military personnel will give “operational support” to embassies.
The Royal Air Force is also putting in reserve planes in the northeast Mediterranean in addition to the Landing send RFA Cardigan Bay and HMS Duncan, according to the statement.
” With the potential for exit routes out of Lebanon– including roads– being disturbed, confined, or finished, due to events escalating with much warning, teams will continue to urge European nationals to leave while commercial options remain available”.
