Is Turkey shifting post-UNIFIL?
The article discusses the possibility of Turkey's involvement in security arrangements following the withdrawal of UNIFIL forces from southern Lebanon at the end of 2026. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed his country's desire to support Lebanon's security and sovereignty, proposing Turkey's contribution to new security initiatives based on previous experience in Lebanon and its institutional relationship with the Lebanese Army. This development is linked to international and regional movements, as the international community reviews its options after the recent extension of UNIFIL's mission, opening the door for broader Turkish participation—provided there is a legal framework and Lebanese approval—despite risks associated with expanding the role to include regional and international competition, especially given the differing positions of Israel and the United States, and the ongoing debate over the potential powers and functions of the new force.
