“It is necessary for Swedes to leave Lebanon, or to refrain from going to the country in question,” writes Billström in a comment to TT .
According to the Foreign Ministry's assessment, as many as 10,000 Swedish citizens may be in the country. In the event of an Israeli invasion – something that appears increasingly likely – it may become impossible for the Swedish state to help these people flee the country.
“You cannot expect to be helped by the state to leave the country” , writes Billström.
Several airlines, including Air France-KLM and Lufthansa, have stopped their flights to and from Beirut due to the security situation.
