The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) plans to withdraw most of its troops from Lebanon by mid-2027. This decision is part of a strategy to gradually reduce the peacekeeping contingent. The withdrawal is expected to be phased, taking into account the current regional situation. UNIFIL emphasizes that this step does not mean the end of the mission, but rather its transformation. It is reported that the remaining forces will continue to perform their mandated tasks, but in a reduced capacity. Experts believe that this troop withdrawal could impact stability in southern Lebanon.
