Recent clashes between the IDF and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon have raised concerns about the safety of UN peacekeeping forces in the region. The United States, France, Italy, and Spain have all condemned the IDF’s firing at UN peacekeeping mission posts, calling for an end to the attacks.
President Biden has emphasized the importance of protecting the peacekeepers and transitioning from military operations to diplomacy. Two UN peacekeepers were injured in Israeli strikes, leading France, Italy, and Spain to express outrage and demand an immediate ceasefire.
The IDF has defended its actions, citing an immediate threat. However, the European leaders have called on Israel to uphold its obligations under international law and ensure the security of peacekeeping missions in Lebanon.
