Spain's Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos will visit Lebanon on Wednesday to show Spain's solidarity with the people and government of Lebanon, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Sunday.

Moratinos made the suggestion on Sunday during a telephone conversation with Lebanon's Prime Minister Fuad Siniora. The conversation was focused on Israeli attack on the south Lebanon village of Qana, which has killed about 57 civilians including 37 children.

Moratinos expressed his deep concern about and Spain's condemnation of the Qana attack, saying he would continue to promote the European Union's position, calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Siniora asked for Spain's help to seek a ceasefire in the region, where Israel has been bombing Lebanon for nearly three weeks.

He told Moratinos that he would also request an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

Israel launched an air raid on the village of Qana Sunday morning, the deadliest single attack since July 12, when Israel started a campaign of airstrikes after Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers and killed eight others.

Lebanese officials separately said that around 750 have died there since the conflict, while Hezbollah has killed around 50 Israelis in total.

On Saturday, Moratinos spoke on the topic with his counterparts, Germany's Frank-Walter Steinmeier and France's Philippe Douste-Blazy, as well as with the European Union representative for foreign policy and security, Javier Solana.
