UN: Violations of Israel-Lebanon cease-fire could spark war
(Worthy News) – The UN Security Council warned Tuesday that violations of the cessation of hostilities agreement between Lebanon and Israel could lead to a new conflict “that none of the parties or the region can afford.”
The council’s warning came in a resolution adopted unanimously Tuesday extending the mandate of the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon that monitors the cessation of hostilities until Aug. 31, 2017. It maintained the mission’s ceiling at 15,000 troops, supported by international and local civilian staff.
The council expressed concern “at the limited progress made towards the establishment of a permanent cease-fire.” [ Source ]
