Resolution 1701 in Negotiation Process
The article addresses the Hezbollah-led duo's refusal in Lebanon to accept any international presence alternative to UNIFIL forces in Southern Lebanon. It emphasizes their insistence on maintaining Resolution 1701 as the primary reference without modification or replacement. Sources indicate that Nabih Berri conveyed a clear message to the American side, expressing discontent with any change to the international force's mission or rules of engagement. He warns that any tampering with the resolution or attempting to impose new rules could complicate the situation and threaten regional stability. The article also explains that the discussion mainly revolves around whether to preserve the legitimacy of Resolution 1701 or to develop a new security arrangement, with differing positions among international actors and Lebanese decision-makers. This is especially true amid American and Israeli pressure to extend UNIFIL's mandate under stricter rules, while Hezbollah's duo insists that the international force should not be transformed into an execution tool—politically or militarily—outside of the UN mandate.
