New York officials seek UN-led global presence
Lebanese Prime Minister Nohad Machnouk emphasized during his visit to New York Lebanon's desire to have an international force in the south after the UNIFIL mission concludes, operating under a Security Council resolution to maintain stability, monitor the borders, and enforce control over Lebanese territories. Lebanon is preparing for the post-UNIFIL phase by considering the establishment of a European, French, or Italian force, while reaffirming the necessity of ongoing international involvement to restore Lebanese sovereignty and prevent a security vacuum in the region. Machnouk also held formal meetings with international, Syrian, and Russian officials to discuss bilateral relations, highlighting the importance of an international force to continue monitoring tasks and remain under the United Nations umbrella.
