Lebanon Seeks New UN Force as UNIFIL Departs

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam urges for a new international force in southern Lebanon as UNIFILs deployment ends, aiming to prevent a security vacuum along the Israel border. The UN Security Council voted to terminate UNIFIL, facing criticism and funding reductions. Salam proposes a smaller, observer-like force similar to the one along Syrias border with Israel. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun welcomes any countrys decision to maintain forces post-UNIFIL, while tensions rise with recent Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollahs infrastructure.
