Aoun Advocates for Ongoing UNIFIL Presence
The Lebanese President, Joseph Aoun, emphasized the necessity of maintaining the presence of UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon, considering Lebanon's primary option to be extending their mandate. He clarified that the presence of UNIFIL contributes to strengthening stability, securing the local population, and coordinating efforts with the Lebanese Army. If an extension is not granted, he suggested adopting a format that ensures the continued presence of international forces alongside the Lebanese Army to support stability and carry out important missions. This comes amid ongoing pressure from Israel to prevent UNIFIL's presence, while Lebanon advocates for its continuation to bolster the state's role and security in the south.
