UNIFIL Exit in Lebanon
The UNIFIL mandate in southern Lebanon ends in late December 2026, and the process of its actual withdrawal begins on January 1. During 2027, its duties will be limited to preparing equipment for transfer to the participating countries—around 55 in number—and handing over its positions to the Lebanese Army. International actors are pushing for security arrangements to prevent a vacuum from emerging in the area, while expanding the role of the 1949 Armistice Monitoring Committee to take on mediation and monitoring duties has also been proposed. The Lebanese Army faces challenges with funding and arms, and military personnel’s salaries have lost up to 90% of their value since the economic crisis. Nevertheless, sources believe that with sufficient support and political will, the army could maintain stability.
