Urgent obligations for Lebanon after the renewal of UNIFIL

Amal Shamouni wrote in “Call of the Homeland”: France, supported by European countries, especially Germany, Italy and Greece, in addition to Britain, played a prominent role in pressure on the United States, to achieve the extension of 16 months for UNIFIL in addition to an additional year dedicated to the withdrawal of organized force. Despite the more than a month, American diplomatic sources indicated that the communication that took place between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Frenchman Jean -Nawil Barrow in the last 24 hours was a turning point in the American position.
The French paper on the basis of which the extension indicates a number of important points agreed upon by Washington and Paris to prevent a security vacuum on the ground. The most prominent of these points is the issue of activating the mechanism stipulated in the agreement to stop hostilities between Israel and Lebanon on November 27, 2024. The sources indicate that this mechanism, which is currently working in cooperation with “UNIFIL” within the scope of its operations area south of the Litani River, will activate its current capabilities and its role in monitoring and verifying to help ensure the implementation of the obligations that Lebanon and Israel pledged, especially the monitoring of decision -making violations 1701 and reporting it. In the conclusion, the American-Israeli opinion said that “UNIFIL” failed to fulfill its obligations despite its many 10,500 soldiers, its annual financing of $ 500 million, and the French-Lebanese-Lebanese opinion supporting and adheres to the presence of “UNIFIL”, the American sources pointed out that Washington exerts a lot of pressure on Lebanon and that recent American messages were not only supportive and constructed by a decision Beirut is unprecedented and difficult to disarm “Hizbullah”, and even clearly called for the time for the Lebanese army, which has always avoided risk and distanced himself from the conflict with the “party”, to present a practical plan to extend the full power of the state. American sources called for the need for Lebanon to baptize the opportunity that “is repeated only once in every generation to achieve the sovereignty of the state,” especially since Washington is expressing a great preparation to support and support the Lebanese state to advance steadily towards its arms monopoly.
