Guterres Calls for International Force in Lebanon

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawar Salameh called for an international force under the auspices of the United Nations to remain in South Lebanon after the expiration of UNIFIL's mandate in December 2026, in order to maintain stability and support the sovereignty of the Lebanese state. This comes amid Israel's ongoing occupation of large areas in southern Lebanon, and France and Italy's desire to form a multinational force to replace UNIFIL. Salameh also emphasized the importance of supporting internally displaced persons, noting that approximately 329,000 people remain displaced within the country.
