Italy’s Meloni to visit Lebanon, says UNIFIL mission should not be withdrawn

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announces a visit to Lebanon later this week, and says heeding Israel’s unilateral demand for UN peacekeepers to be withdrawn from the country would be a “grave mistake.”

Speaking in the lower house of parliament, Meloni says she expects to be in Lebanon on Friday and says a withdrawal of the UNIFIL mission “would be a grave mistake and undermine the credibility” of the United Nations.
