Spanish Government Calls for Full Compliance with Ceasefire Agreement between Israel and Lebanon
Madrid, February 18, 2025 – The Spanish government has reiterated its call for the full implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon in 2006.
In a statement released today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern over recent ceasefire violations and urged both parties to uphold their obligations under the agreement.
“Spain strongly believes that the full compliance with Resolution 1701 is essential for maintaining peace and stability in the region,” the statement read.
The ministry also expressed support for the mediation efforts of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which has played a crucial role in monitoring the ceasefire and preventing further violence.
“We call on all parties to cooperate fully with UNIFIL and to refrain from any actions that could undermine its mandate or threaten its personnel,” the statement added.
The call comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with both sides accusing each other of violating the ceasefire agreement. In recent months, there have been several incidents of cross-border shelling and attempted infiltrations.
The situation is particularly delicate due to the ongoing conflict in Syria, which has spilled over into Lebanon on several occasions. The presence of Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon has also contributed to regional instability.
The Spanish government has long been a supporter of the peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Lebanese conflict and has consistently called for the implementation of Resolution 1701.
The ministry’s statement today underscores Spain’s commitment to promoting dialogue and cooperation between the two countries and to ensuring the stability of the region.
