The Kremlin, today Wednesday, urged Russian nationals to leave Lebanon as soon as possible via commercial flights for their safety. The Russian presidency, ‘The Kremlin,’ has expressed its concern over the escalation in Lebanon, which could destabilize the Middle East.
This follows a wide Israeli air attack that recently started targeting areas in South Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley. The Kremlin stated that ‘the settlement in the Middle East is monopolized by a single state with no prospects for de-escalation,’ referring to the United States.”
The recent escalations between Lebanon and Israel have heightened tensions significantly. The conflict, involving Israeli airstrikes and Hezbollah’s retaliatory measures, has resulted in substantial casualties and a disruption to daily life, including the suspension of international flights to and from Lebanon. These events have spiraled following Hezbollah’s threats and Israeli military responses, which are seen as an attempt to degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon has appealed to the United States to intervene and help de-escalate the situation, emphasizing that American diplomacy is crucial for regional stability. The conflict has led to fears of a broader Middle Eastern war, potentially drawing in other regional players and exacerbating the already tense situation.
