Paris Shows Backing for Army
The Paris summit focused on strengthening the Lebanese state's ability to sustainably support its military and security forces, aiming to empower the army and security agencies to fully assume their security responsibilities—especially with the imminent end of UNIFIL’s operations at the end of 2026 and its organized withdrawal in 2027. The Lebanese presidency called for a clear roadmap and a timeline for the upcoming international conference, emphasizing transparency and accountability in the utilization of aid, and linking external support to increased Lebanese responsibility. Participants also underscored the necessity of extending the authority of the Lebanese state in the south and providing the necessary capabilities to the army to ensure continued security and stability, while also addressing Israeli attacks and safeguarding Lebanon’s sovereignty. The success of this approach depends on Lebanon and its partners’ ability to translate needs into sustainable commitments—covering training, recruitment, equipment, and logistical support—thereby strengthening efforts to rebuild state institutions and establish independent security control.
