The joint statement revealed that the signatory countries expressed their deep concern about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Lebanon, in addition to the escalation of the displacement crisis that the country is witnessing during the recent period.
This move comes in a broader international context that focuses on ensuring the safety of relief workers during crises and conflicts, especially after the Israeli occupation army targeted vehicles and soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping forces, UNIFIL.
Earlier, the French Foreign Minister announced that his country requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council following the serious incidents suffered by peacekeepers in the UNIFIL force in southern Lebanon.
Jean-Noel Barrot said on the X platform that Paris condemns with the greatest degree of firmness the fire that resulted in the death of 3 members of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
This force, which includes about 8,200 soldiers from 47 countries, is stationed in southern Lebanon, where a war is raging between the Israeli occupation and the Lebanese Hezbollah.
