The warning comes late, as always
The Mexican embassy in Lebanon finally woke up. Given the escalation of tensions in the Middle East, he called on his compatriots to leave the country. The advice comes while trading options are still operational. How long will that window last? Nobody says it.
“Register your stay with the consular section,” they ask.
By mail or phone. The classic protocol that many will ignore until it is too late. Collective amnesia for past crises is a luxury that not everyone can afford.
Flights are a tightrope
Middle East Airlines and Royal Jordanian continue to offer daily departures. European destinations, Amman, Istanbul, Cairo. It’s the escape list. The embassy also shared its social networks and emergency numbers. Two phones, same function: trying to help when chaos is already here.
As for Israel, civil protection guidelines remain unchanged until Thursday. Limited activity level. Distinction of two areas with differentiated measurements. A bureaucratic language that tries to bring order where uncertainty reigns.
The recommendation is on the table: leave now. The question is how many will hear it before the doors close.
