American Jewish Committee Calls for Hezbollah Accountability Following Renewal of UNIFIL Mandate
American Jewish Committee issued a statement following the renewal of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) by the UN Security Council.
"The UN Security Council today renewed UNIFIL’s mandate for another year. But UNIFIL cannot carry out its peacekeeping responsibilities when Hezbollah ignores UN resolutions, strengthens its military presence in southern Lebanon, prevents the Lebanese government from extending its authority over its entire territory, and receives illegal arms from Iran."
