Mechanism Committee

A military and security coordination committee between Lebanon and Israel under UNIFIL auspices. Israel is pressing to cancel it and replace it with direct military-to-military communication.

The Mechanism Committee is a coordination body established after the 2006 war to ensure the cessation of hostilities between Lebanon and Israel, comprising representatives of both armies and UNIFIL. It aims to prevent escalation and resolve field disputes. Israel criticizes it and demands its cancellation in favor of direct military communication, while Lebanon insists on it as an indirect framework. It reflects the debate over implementing Resolution 1701.
