Spain Condemn Israeli Strikes in Lebanon and Restores Embassy in Tehran in Diplomatic Move

MADRID, April 9 (Reuters) – Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel ​Albares on Thursday accused Israel of violating ‌international law and a newly brokered two-week ceasefire in the Middle East by carrying out airstrikes ​on Lebanon on Wednesday.

Spain has ​emerged as one of the most vocal ⁠critics among Western nations of U.S. ​and Israeli actions in Iran and Lebanon, ​closing its airspace to any aircraft involved in a conflict Madrid has called reckless and illegal.

“Yesterday we ​saw how Israel, flouting the ceasefire ​and in violation of international law, dropped hundreds of ‌bombs ⁠on Lebanon,” Albares told lawmakers in the lower house.

Earlier on Thursday, Albares announced that Spain would reopen its embassy in Tehran ​in hopes ​of achieving ⁠peace in the region.

“I’ve instructed our ambassador in Tehran to return, ​to take up his post again ​and ⁠reopen our embassy, and for us to join in this effort for peace from ⁠every ​possible quarter, including from ​the Iranian capital itself,” Albares told reporters.
