Thank you, Madame President,

Let me thank you for convening this important meeting upon the request of France and Indonesia. I would also like to thank the briefers for their comprehensive information on the situation on the ground.

Madame President,

Poland is deeply concerned by the increasing instability in Lebanon, which directly affects the safety of the civilian population as well as that of UNIFIL personnel. Regrettably, as the result of recent attacks, three Indonesian peacekeepers have lost their lives while other were injured, including a soldier from the Polish UNIFIL contingent.

We extend our deepest condolences to Indonesia and the close ones of the fallen peacekeepers and wish the injured a swift recovery.

Poland strongly condemns these incidents. Ensuring safety of peacekeepers must be a top priority for all parties involved. We expect the ongoing investigation to conclusively determine all the circumstances of these tragic developments.

Madame President,

We wish to point to the increasingly difficult situation of UNIFIL, marked by growing security threats, reduction of the operation’s capabilities due to the 15% cuts, and a lack of a clear plan for the termination of mandated activities in light of the implementation of Resolution 2790. These elements create uncertainty regarding UNIFIL’s posture and mode of operation in the future.

We therefore call for development of clear operational guidelines for the implementation of Resolution 2790, enabling Troop Contributing Countries to align their planning, while ensuring both the continued implementation of the mandate and the safety of soldiers remaining in Lebanon.

Madame President,

In a broader context we call on all on all parties to refrain from any actions that would further escalate the situation and to return immediately to the implementation of the ceasefire agreement negotiated by the United States and France in November 2024, and to ensure the full implementation of the provisions of Resolution 1701.

We are deeply concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation of the civilian population. In response, Poland has delivered the first batch of humanitarian aid to Lebanon. Additionally, in response to humanitarian appeals, we have made voluntary contributions to International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Further aid programs are currently being prepared.

Madame President,

We call on all parties to urgently return to the cessation of hostilities arrangement and to fully respect United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701. Poland reaffirms its strong support for the mandate of UNIFIL in southern Lebanon. We commend the courage, professionalism, and steadfast commitment of UNIFIL peacekeepers in the fulfilment of their mandate.

I thank you.
