Lebanese President on UNIFIL's Role
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun emphasized that failing to extend the UNIFIL mission in southern Lebanon without a replacement international force would create a vacuum that threatens security and stability. He noted that this is especially critical given Israel's ongoing occupation of southern villages and towns. Lebanon welcomes any substitute forces to continue implementing Resolution 1701 and to support the Lebanese Army in enforcing its authority over southern territories up to the international border. Aoun pointed out that Israel has not adhered to the framework agreement and has increased its escalation, which keeps tensions high. He also underlined Britain’s support for Lebanon and the Lebanese Army, while military leaders reaffirmed their unity and commitment to protecting the homeland. This comes alongside substantial American backing, including the delivery of 16 million rounds of ammunition to the Lebanese Army and military aid exceeding $800 million over the past six years to strengthen its capabilities and sovereignty.
