Guterres recommends extending UN force in Lebanon
The United Nations called for the continued presence of its forces in Lebanon after the UNIFIL mission ends in late 2026, to facilitate de-escalation, support the Lebanese Armed Forces, and monitor the Blue Line between Lebanon and Israel. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres proposed options ranging from 2,000 to 5,500 soldiers to maintain an effective military role, believing that a larger number ensures better monitoring of border areas and events. Beirut and most Security Council members support the continuation of UN forces, despite the United States and Israel calling for their termination, amid rising tensions with the Israeli army and Iranian-backed militants.
