South: UNIFIL alternative not readyAccording to military sources
The article discusses the future of UNIFIL's presence in southern Lebanon. Military sources indicate that the end of its current mission is not simply a scheduled withdrawal but rather the beginning of a new phase concerning how the security scene will be managed once the international force's term concludes. The discussion reveals differences among the involved countries, with Lebanon insisting on maintaining the UN presence, while France and Italy are working on shaping a European presence that preserves international interests. Meanwhile, the Americans and Israelis are pushing to reduce the international role and reorganize border management mechanisms. It is assumed that a withdrawal without a clear agreement on successors for UNIFIL could leave the region unstable, with possibilities of new facts on the ground being imposed and the threat of an security vacuum, potentially leading to redrawn lines of contact and oversight frameworks. This reflects a deeper struggle over the future of the south after UNIFIL's mission concludes.
