UNIFIL Overlooked Resolution 1701
The article discusses the expiration of the mandate for UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon, where Lebanon faces US-Israeli pressure to consider alternatives. Washington has rejected a new extension and is demanding the deployment of a new international force within a European-American negotiation framework. UNIFIL’s mandate will end on December 31st, and the United Nations is exploring future options. However, positions are complex, with the US refusing the possibility of replacing UNIFIL with an ineffective force. Additionally, there is disagreement over the wording of bilateral agreements between Lebanon and Israel, particularly the April 16 and June 26 treaties, which impose restrictions on Lebanon’s ability to seek international references. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri emphasized the need for a UN force with international consensus to replace UNIFIL, ensuring the continuation of operations under Resolution 1701 and providing Lebanon with protection from Israeli attacks.
