Brussels, June 2 /Sinyua/ — The European Commission has called on Israel to cease the military escalation in Lebanon and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. This was stated on Monday by the official EU representative for foreign affairs and security policy, Anuar al-Anuni, at a press conference.
According to him, the EU also encourages further participation in ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at ensuring a coordinated path to long-term stability and security for both Lebanon and Israel.
A. al-Anouni stated that the people of Lebanon have already endured enormous difficulties. “They did not choose this war, and this is not a war,” he said, adding that the people of Lebanon and Israel have the right to live in peace, security, and dignity, without the threat of the conflict resuming.
Responding to a question about the mandate of the UN Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which expires at the end of 2026, as well as about whether the EU is considering the possibility of playing a more active role in the security mechanism in southern Lebanon, A. al-Anuni said that currently the EU is studying the possibility of creating a new EU mission aimed at assisting the strengthening of state control in Lebanon. –0–
