UNIFIL coordinates with Lebanon for duty transition
The article concerns the efforts of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to prepare for their planned withdrawal at the end of 2026. It emphasizes the importance of smoothly transferring responsibilities to the Lebanese Armed Forces or a new mission to ensure continued security and address sensitive situations in southern Lebanon. Major General Diodato Abanayar highlighted that operations require coordination with the United Nations and the Lebanese Army, especially in areas controlled by Israeli forces, where demolitions and Israeli clashes are ongoing, raising concerns about losing UN oversight of the situation after the withdrawal. While the international community seeks to prevent a security gap, preparations remain ongoing for the possible extension of the mandate or the formation of a new mission, underscoring the critical importance of regional stability.
