European and Arab military chiefs meet in Paris to discuss post-UNIFIL security arrangements for Lebanon
European and Arab military leaders convened in Paris on September 17, 2026, to assess Lebanese Armed Forces needs and discuss alternatives to the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission, whose mandate begins drawing down in January 2027. The talks, chaired by French President Macron, Lebanese President Aoun, and Jordan's King Abdullah, addressed options for a new international mission outside a UN mandate. The discussions come amid continued Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon despite a June ceasefire framework deal between Israel and Lebanon.
