On the evening of September 19, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy called on UK citizens to leave Lebanon “while they can”.
“My message to British citizens in Lebanon: leave while you can. Tensions are high and the situation could get worse quickly,” he wrote on the X-blog.
Earlier, David Lammy had a telephone conversation with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati and expressed deep concern about the growing tensions on the Lebanese-Israeli border. He said that during the conversation they discussed the need for negotiations and finding diplomatic solutions to restore security along the Blue Line.
