The mission of United Nations forces operating in South Lebanon has ended after 48 years, and they will be withdrawn by the end of this year, leaving Lebanon facing the challenge of filling the international vacuum. Despite efforts by France and Italy to remain in the region more effectively, Israel and the United States oppose this, favoring the absence of international forces after the withdrawal and leaving the door open for direct security agreements between Lebanon and Israel. Lebanon fears that this vacuum could lead to a deterioration of security and economic conditions in the south, as it seeks international support to enable the Lebanese Army to maintain stability and stop Israeli expansion—especially amid ongoing uncertainty about the future presence of new international forces.
