The basic idea behind the presence of the European force, whatever its form, scope of work, powers and limits of movement, is not limited to field, operational and logistical aspects, but is essentially connected to the continuation of European support for Lebanon, accompanying the Lebanese state in completing its path toward implementing international resolutions, and supporting the diplomatic path it follows to restore its sovereignty and authority.

We do not yet have much data on the nature of the proposed European mission and the tasks it might undertake, but what we understood is that there is communication and discussions among European countries about a specific formula to support Lebanon, without its details having been fully clarified to us.

If this plan is approved on this basis, there will be a big problem. We expressed this before the MPs and informed them that we will resort to daily moves if it is approved.

If the increase is paid via card, that is not the core of the problem, because the depositor can use it in supermarkets, pharmacies and elsewhere. But the big problem is that these amounts be deducted from the first $100,000 the depositor is supposed to receive in cash.

We heard that the $200 increase in withdrawals may be conditional on deducting these amounts from the first $100,000 to be paid to depositors, but we informed the MPs that this is rejected, because we are working to raise the $100,000 ceiling so that it is the first payment to depositors in cash, not to have it reduced.

As the prime minister and I have made clear, we will not withdraw from the 'security zones'. If Hezbollah joins Iran in any attack on Israel, it will receive a severe blow and will lose additional territory in southern Lebanon, in Nabatieh and (the) Litani (River), which will become part of Israel's permanent 'security zone', and the Israeli army is ready for that.

The southern suburbs of Beirut will also be evacuated, and the 'terrorist' infrastructure there will be targeted, which will turn more than one million (Lebanese) into displaced persons.

Discussions also covered the implications of Resolution 2790 and the unified Lebanese position on it, and the demand to extend the mandate of the international emergency forces in southern Lebanon in a way that serves the interests of Lebanon and the South and international peace and security, since UNIFIL's tasks and the provisions of Resolution 1701 entrusted these forces with monitoring and protecting the international border along the Blue Line and correcting it, especially regarding the disputed and reservation points by Lebanon, in addition to the task of raising and exposing the daily Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty.

This meeting comes at an important moment, as the situation on the ground remains complex, with military activities continuing and the population severely affected by them.

The circumstances resulting from the Israeli attacks and the occupation of southern villages and towns, most of which fall within UNIFIL's mandate, make the presence of the international forces very important, because their withdrawal would create a vacuum with negative repercussions on the security situation in the region, and the region would be devoid of any international monitoring of what is happening there, without ignoring the social, humanitarian, health and educational roles these forces have played, which have made the relationship solid between them and the southern citizens who are comfortable with their presence, trust their role, and insist on their stay in their towns and villages.

The continuation of Israeli attacks and the occupation of southern villages and towns makes the presence of UNIFIL extremely important, and its withdrawal would create a security vacuum and deprive the region of international oversight of what is happening there.
