212, 13 October 2024, Regarding Israel’s Attack on UNIFIL / Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was established to contribute to the security of the region.

It is imperative that UNIFIL fulfils its mandate, particularly given Israel’s clear intention to spread the conflict across the region.

The Israeli Government’s repeated attacks on UNIFIL are a clear indication of its policy of occupying Lebanon and its willingness to use military power without hesitation.

It is incumbent on each member of the UN Security Council to prevent attacks by Israel against the UN forces that they themselves have mandated.

We call on all states to take a unified stance against Israel and the countries that provide weapons to it.
