The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is set to convene an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss the situation in Lebanon following Israel’s expanded military operations and territorial advances in the country’s southern region. According to diplomatic sources cited by AFP, the meeting was called in response to growing concerns over Israel’s extended presence after the capture of the historically significant Beaufort Castle.

France initiated the move to call the emergency session as international concern mounts over the ongoing military activities in southern Lebanon and their potential impact on civilians. Member states are expected to deliberate on these developments and their broader implications for regional stability.

Diplomatic sources also indicated that before the Lebanon discussion, the UNSC will hold another emergency session on the same day regarding a Russian drone crash into a residential building in Romania. The Lebanon meeting will begin immediately after that session concludes.
