US State Department criticizes UNIFIL, calls for Tripartite Framework

The United States affirms that the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon has failed and intends not to support an extension of its mandate beyond the end of 2026. It points out that the presence of UNIFIL has faced seven rounds of conflict and that Hezbollah has established a strong military infrastructure near the sites of international forces, leading some Hezbollah elements to exploit UNIFIL positions to protect their operations. Washington is promoting the new tripartite framework, which aims to achieve lasting security and peaceful relations between Israel and Lebanon. It emphasizes the need to link any new international presence to tangible objectives, such as the disarmament of Hezbollah and the strengthening of the Lebanese army’s capabilities, while rejecting replacing current tasks with an ineffective and open-ended mission. Washington expects that this framework will lead to greater stability between Lebanon and Israel and reduce reliance on an indefinite peacekeeping force.
