UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix concluded a three-day visit to Lebanon, stressing that Security Council Resolution 1701 remains essential for stability.

In meetings with senior officials, including Speaker Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Lebanese army commander General Joseph Aoun, and others, he urged Lebanon and "Israel" to fully meet their obligations under the resolution.

Lacroix visited UNIFIL bases and met with its personnel, including those injured in recent Israeli attacks, and thanked the 50 troop-contributing countries supporting the mission. 

"Peacekeepers from almost 50 troop-contributing countries continue to do their utmost to implement their mandated tasks, in very difficult and challenging conditions," Lacroix stated, adding that "by doing this, they are helping to create and hold the space for a political and diplomatic solution to emerge. We are extremely grateful to them for their dedication and commitment."

He reiterated the UN’s call for a "cessation of hostilities," supporting diplomatic efforts for a resolution and full implementation of 1701.
