Mister President,
Members of the Security Council,
As you just heard from Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo, the fragile situation that prevailed since November 2024 has given way to a significant escalation of hostilities. We are gravely concerned that there will be a further worsening of the situation in Lebanon and in the region.
In this dangerous and precarious environment, UNIFIL remains on the ground implementing its mandate as far as the security circumstances allow.
