UNIFIL Termination Risks Jobs in South Lebanon
The end of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mission poses a threat to hundreds of jobs in southern Lebanon, where many families rely on salaries received from international forces, either directly or through approved companies. A reduction in the number of personnel is expected to begin after the end of 2026, potentially resulting in financial losses of between $45 million and $55 million annually for the Lebanese economy, in addition to the loss of hundreds of direct and indirect jobs and a negative impact on economic activity—especially in border areas suffering from the repercussions of war. These losses will also increase the burden on the Lebanese state's treasury, as the army will incur additional costs estimated between $25 million and $40 million annually, while the decline in real estate activity in affected areas could reach up to 45%.
