UN Extends UNIFIL Mandate in Lebanon
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) After the UN Security Council on Friday extended UNIFIL's mandate, Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gabi Ashkenazi said: "The security incidents that have taken place along the northern border over the past several days clearly illustrate above all else the need for a strong and effective UNIFIL. The State of Israel's security will be guaranteed by its own defensive and political power. The true test now will lie in the readiness of the Lebanese government and UNIFIL to implement all of the requirements of the resolution."
