Aoun seeks Vatican support as UNIFIL transfers positions
The article focused on the field and diplomatic developments related to Lebanon amid the ongoing tension in the south caused by Israeli attacks. President Jozef Maoun submitted a request for support from the Vatican, calling on the Pope to back Lebanese demands to stop Israeli assaults and for the occupying forces to withdraw from Lebanese territory, while reinforcing the state's authority over its borders. On the ground, UNIFIL forces began handing over their positions to the Lebanese Army in preparation for their withdrawal by the end of the year, amidst warnings from Nabih Berri about the dangers of ending UNIFIL’s mission on peace and security in the south, especially given the escalation of Israeli occupation. Statements condemning the Lebanese negotiating stance with Israel also continued, with some considering that current policies encourage the occupation to persist in its aggression. On the economic front, an advanced scanning device was activated at the Al-Masnaa border crossing, and Lebanese exports to Saudi Arabia resumed, with assurances that these developments reflect a gradual recovery of economic activity and increased confidence in the state.
