Lebanon Pushes To Extend UNIFIL as Hezbollah Disarmament Stalls...

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and other officials are seeking an extension of the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon. The move comes amid stalled progress on disarming Hezbollah.

UNIFIL was established under the 2006 ceasefire framework between Israel and Hezbollah. Disarmament of the Iran-backed group has faced ongoing obstacles from Lebanese political and security realities.
