US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington is exploring a civilian mission to replace UNIFIL in Lebanon as the UN peacekeeping mandate approaches expiry.
Rubio says the proposed mission would monitor the implementation of agreements between Israel and Lebanon, ensuring Israeli forces withdraw from designated zones and the Lebanese Armed Forces prevent Hezbollah from returning.
The US is discussing the proposal with France, but Rubio says any new mission would require agreement from both Israel and Lebanon.
