The Lebanese government is pushing to extend the mandate of UNIFIL peacekeepers in southern Lebanon before it expires on December 31, fearing a security vacuum if the troops withdraw. The issue touches on Israel, Hezbollah and the risk of renewed escalation, with the United States and European Union drawn into discussions over the future of the UN mission.
