Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam welcomed a United Nations Security Council decision on Thursday to extend the mandate of the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon.
“I welcome the Security Council’s decision to extend the UNIFIL mandate until December 31, 2026,” Salam said, thanking France and “all friendly states in this council”. The decision provides for the blue helmets to withdraw from Lebanon by the end of 2027.
