Lebanon Supports Extending UNIFIL Mission
Lebanon intends to request an extension of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mission during the upcoming Security Council session, prior to the expiration of its mandate on December 31, 2026. The goal is to ensure the continued presence of international forces and to avoid a security vacuum. If the extension is denied, Lebanon will propose forming an alternative international force to carry on the implementation of Resolution 1701, aiming to halt hostilities, respect the Blue Line, and facilitate the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory, with support for the Lebanese Army and local communities. This comes amid Israeli escalation in southern Lebanon, where Israeli aircraft and forces are targeting border areas, despite ongoing understandings and negotiations.
