“The situation in Lebanon remains fragile, with the country facing a number of challenges, including political instability, economic crisis, and the ongoing refugee crisis,” Wronecka said. “These challenges have put a strain on the country’s security forces and have made it difficult for the government to provide basic services to its citizens.”
Wronecka said that the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, is playing a vital role in helping to maintain stability in the country.
“UNIFIL is playing a vital role in helping to maintain stability in Lebanon,” Wronecka said. “The force is working to prevent conflict between Israel and Lebanon, and is also helping to build the capacity of the Lebanese Armed Forces.”
The Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, told the Council that the situation in Syria is also complex and challenging.
“The situation in Syria is also complex and challenging,” Pedersen said. “The country is still recovering from a devastating civil war, and there are a number of armed groups operating in the country.”
Pedersen said that the UN peacekeeping force in Syria, known as UNDOF, is playing a vital role in helping to maintain stability in the Golan Heights.
“UNDOF is playing a vital role in helping to maintain stability in the Golan Heights,” Pedersen said. “The force is working to prevent conflict between Israel and Syria, and is also helping to build the capacity of the Syrian Arab Armed Forces.”
