The topic of the meeting is “Risks and threats to national security in the context of conflicts in the Middle East. Need to take measures“.
The crisis in the Middle East escalated after Iran's direct attack on Israel on October 1. In the evening, Iran fired 180 rockets at Israel, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard threatened to carry out “crushing attacks” against Israel if it retaliates to the Islamic Republic's missile attack.
In our country, acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev convened the Security Council at the Council of Ministers, and the Council united around a call for de-escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which is in sync with the European position. There is currently no threat to Bulgaria. Bulgaria reacted extremely adequately to the evacuation of Bulgarian citizens from Lebanon.
This was the result of preliminary preparation and information that we had both from the Bulgarian services and from the partner and allied ones," Glavchev said and congratulated the State Aviation Operator for the evacuation. “It is no coincidence that half an hour after the second flight took off, real hostilities began. "Everything was under control," added the caretaker prime minister. He emphasized that, together with all institutions, they are doing everything possible to protect the life and health of Bulgarian citizens.
