Aoun seeks Spain support for EU pressure on Israel to halt attacks
President Joseph Aoun met Monday with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez at La Moncloa Palace in Madrid, as he arrived in Spain to sign several bilateral agreements, amid intensified Israeli strikes on south Lebanon.
Aoun urged Spain, after his meeting with Sánchez, to pressure Israel within the European Union to commit to the implementation of a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024.
The agreements between Lebanon and Spain will include cooperation in the health, cultural, agricultural, and scientific fields.
Aoun will also meet with King Felipe VI in Spain.
On Monday, Israel targeted two cars in south Lebanon, killing at least one person, before issuing evacuation orders warning that it will bomb two buildings in the southern towns of Kfar Tebnit and Ain Qana.
On Sunday, at least one person was killed and 12 were wounded in strikes that also targeted cars in Ebba and Harouf.
