It has been revealed that Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri conveyed to the American side the stance of the Shiite duo, which rejects any new international presence in Southern Lebanon except under the banner of the United Nations and by a Security Council resolution in accordance with Resolution 1701. This includes maintaining their current missions and rules of engagement. The objective of this position is to prevent any alternative international force from replacing UNIFIL from becoming a tool for implementing Lebanese-Israeli agreements or exerting pressure on Lebanon outside of the UN mandate. Sources indicate that the current confrontation concerns whether to retain the existing reference of Resolution 1701 or to establish a new security system based on the "Framework Agreement." The Shiite duo reject any changes that could lead to modifications in the rules of deployment and monitoring. Additionally, it is noted that the United States is trying to balance Israel’s demands for a more effective security system while ensuring that the international force does not become a party to Israeli conditions. The coming weeks are seen as decisive in determining the nature of the overarching framework that will continue to govern the situation in Southern Lebanon.
