Alternatives to replace UNIFIL presence
The article discusses the issue of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) remaining in southern Lebanon after Lebanon signed the framework agreement with Israel and the United States. This agreement specifies a particular security reference, raising questions about the possibility of European troops returning to the area instead of UNIFIL. There is a recognized need for an alternative force to support the Lebanese army along the border, as 86 deputies sent a message to the United Nations proposing this option, although Lebanon has not received a clear American response. Washington has been decisive in ending UNIFIL’s mission due to security gaps that emerged during the war, and its desire to replace the international forces with a force that falls under its own authority. Meanwhile, Israel favors other options that align with its interests. This leaves Lebanon facing the challenge of finding an effective substitute for the UN peacekeeping presence in the south.
