Spain has put its diplomatic legations in the Middle East on alert, as the President of the Government himself, Pedro Sánchez, announced early this Sunday through X.
"We follow the events in the Middle East with utmost concern. A regional escalation must be avoided at all costs. We are in permanent contact with the embassies in the region, which remain active, to assist the Spaniards in the area," said Sánchez.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has stressed the direct contact that the Government maintains with the embassies. "Deeply concerned about the situation in the Middle East. In permanent contact with our embassies in the area that are operational to provide assistance to the Spanish," he also noted in X.
