German Defense Minister: Berlin ready to support Lebanese Army
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius emphasized that Germany is prepared to contribute to the training of the Lebanese army and provide logistical support after the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mission concludes in 2026. He clarified that peacekeeping support should continue despite financial and security challenges, with a focus on improving operational outcomes and providing the necessary training and capabilities to protect troops from threats such as explosive devices and unmanned aerial vehicles. He also highlighted the importance of utilizing the remaining period to fully equip the Lebanese army for complete security control of the country, facilitating the transition and reorganization of forces after UNIFIL's mission ends, while maintaining international and regional support to enhance the army's capabilities, secure borders, and address maritime and aerial surveillance tasks.
