The joint statement by 40 countries who contribute troops to the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil), urged for a halt to attacks on peacekeepers in the country.

“As the countries contributors to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon we reaffirm our full support for Unifil’s mission and activities,” said the statement, posted on X on Saturday.

“We therefore strongly condemn recent attacks on the Unifil peacekeepers. Such actions must stop immediately and should be adequately investigated.”
