Southern Test Dims Paris Conference
The article discusses the Paris Conference and the plans for the post-UNIFIL phase in southern Lebanon. Sources indicate that the French-Italian initiative continues to face obstacles due to the United States and Israel's refusal to send a European civilian-military mission. Israel seeks to expand its operational areas and target strategic sites in the south. Estimates suggest that Israel aims to extend its presence through a "gradual encroachment" strategy and is developing plans to establish new military bases, which increases the likelihood of escalating tensions. The discussion focuses on supporting the Lebanese Army to enhance its capabilities and the possibility of establishing an international mechanism after the withdrawal of UNIFIL. Emphasis is placed on the sensitivity of the situation and the army's ability to assert control amidst Israeli and European demands for wider deployment. The conference represents an attempt to pressure Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, amid worries of a prolonged conflict and potential security clashes in the south, amid growing internal and external challenges related to the post-UNIFIL arrangements.
