The United Nations Security Council has voted to extend its peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon until the end of 2026, before terminating it in what the resolution described as an “orderly and safe drawdown and withdrawal” the following year.
On Thursday, the Security Council unanimously backed the decision, which had strong support from the United States. The resolution said that the pullout would take place in close consultation with the Lebanese government.
