Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar has urged Israel to respect agreements made between the US and Iran, according to the Slovak news agency TASR, Al Jazeera reports.

Blanar, speaking alongside Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares during a news conference in Bratislava, stressed the need for diplomatic solutions to conflicts in the Middle East, including the Gaza Strip and tensions involving Iran.

“We don’t want Lebanon to be another part of Gaza, and therefore, it is necessary for Israel to also abide by the agreements that were concluded between the United States of America and Iran,” Blanar said.
