UNIFIL in Lebanon could be strengthened, says EU top official

The European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Saturday called for strengthening the mandate of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL). In remarks following a meeting of G7 defense ministers in Naples, Italy, Borrell said: "U.N. forces have to be respected all over the world." He added: "Maybe the mission of UNIFIL has to be reviewed, but the first thing to do is a ceasefire." "It would be up to the United Nations' Security Council to make decisions on UNIFIL," Borrell concluded. Source: Jordan News Agency
