On Thursday, Spain raised the tasks of repatriation of the Spaniards present in Israel and Iran, for security problems that the war entails, in which the two countries were mutual bombing during the week. From Thursday there were 240 people who left both countries – about 200 from Israel and 40 from Iran – as Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez said.
The Spaniards who were in Iran left the North to Armenia and are already in the capital, Ereva, waiting for the flight back to Spain. For their part, those who were in Israeli territory crossed the border with Jordan and will be in Spain “in the next few hours,” the minister explained in detail on the X network, which people from other nationalities also traveled to the convoy.
“Exteriors successfully completes Israel’s departure at its border crossing in Jordan in 5 buses, before the flight, which will deliver them to Spain (Torrekhon) on the armed forces aircraft this afternoon,” the diplomatic sources report. “In total, Spain is evacuated by 199 people: 176 Spaniards and 23 other nationalities (Canada, Chile, Croatia, the USA, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Nicaragua and Portugal). In addition to two accompanying pets. All of them are in perfect condition. ”
Albares thanked the “unusual” work of embassy employees in Tehran and Tel Aviv, as well as the work of the consulate in Jerusalem, and asked citizens who decided to continue in two countries who maintain contact with the relevant embassies. “The fact that they are attentive to social networks,” said the minister, who asked, if there is any Spanish passage through one of the two countries, he also contacted a diplomatic representation.
