Aoun praises Macron and Meloni's coalition efforts
Lebanon welcomed France and Italy's initiative aiming to form an alternative international coalition to UNIFIL once its mission in southern Lebanon concludes, with the goal of supporting Lebanon's sovereignty and stability. The Lebanese presidency emphasized the importance of leveraging international cooperation to enhance the capabilities of the Lebanese armed forces and preventing Lebanese territories from becoming a battleground for regional escalation. This comes amid France and Italy’s efforts to launch a coalition involving the international community after the end of UNIFIL’s mission at the end of the year. The issue faces challenges related to securing approval for a permanent international military presence in Lebanon, especially since the Security Council has decided to end UNIFIL’s mission, which was established in 1978.
