Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has urged his country’s citizens in Lebanon to leave, as the possibility of an all-out conflict with Israel looms.
“I take the opportunity to say to Australians: Do not travel to Lebanon at the moment,” Albanese told reporters in Sydney.
“There is a risk that the Beirut airport might not be open for commercial flights and given the numbers of people who are there, there’s no guarantee that we can just guarantee that people will be able to come home through other means if that airport is shut,” he said.
