The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has formally requested a one-year extension of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)’s mandate, set to begin on August 31, 2025.
In a statement issued Friday, the ministry said the request follows a decision approved by the Cabinet during its May 14 session.
