The U.N. Security Council (UNSC) has unanimously voted on Wednesday to extend the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) for one year.
The UNSC strongly urged all concerned parties to "implement immediate measures for de-escalation, including efforts to restore calm, restraint, and stability around the Blue Line," the demarcation line between Israel and Lebanon.
The resolution passed by the Council to extend UNIFIL's mandate also reiterates the Council's "strong support" for full respect of the Blue Line and a complete cessation of hostilities.
