The United Nations Security Council has called on both Israel and Lebanon to uphold the ceasefire agreement established last year. The council praised Lebanon's efforts to assert its sovereignty across its territory through its armed forces and urged the international community to continue supporting the Lebanese military, particularly in the south. The statement expressed full support for the peacekeeping force stationed in the region and emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety and security of peacekeepers, following recent incidents involving military strikes near their positions. The peacekeeping mission, which has been present since 1978, is set to conclude in 2027 following a recent vote.
