UN peacekeepers and Lebanese prime minister call for swift Israeli withdrawal
23 December 2024 17:47 GMT
The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) has called for accelerated progress in the Israeli military’s withdrawal from south Lebanon, and the Lebanese army’s deployment there.
In a statement on Monday, it urged “all actors to cease and refrain from violations of (Security Council) resolution 1701 and any actions that could jeopardise the fragile stability that currently prevails”.
The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has been in place for a month.
Unifil’s statement comes after Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said the US and France should pressure Israel to complete its withdrawal faster.
