US-French UNIFIL Option
The outlines of a U.S.-French initiative to find an alternative to UNIFIL in southern Lebanon have begun to emerge. It would involve a European or international force tasked with verifying disarmament and Israel’s withdrawal, under the “Framework Agreement” and outside the scope of Resolution 1701. Lebanon rejects any arrangement that does not operate under the United Nations’ auspices, and has also rejected a proposal to entrust security in the south to a private company. Meanwhile, the option of reinforcing UN observers along the armistice line and increasing their number to 300 personnel is under discussion. The force’s structure and international mandate have yet to be decided, as attention turns to a U.S. vision for the post-UNIFIL phase.
