EU Looking at Options for Boosting Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces, Document Says

Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
The European Union is exploring options to strengthen Lebanon's Internal Security Forces to allow the Lebanese army to concentrate on disarming Hezbollah, according to a document seen by Reuters. The EU plans to conduct consultations with Lebanese authorities and carry out a scoping mission in early 2026 to assess potential new assistance focusing on advice, training, and capacity-building. This initiative would not replace the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which is scheduled to begin withdrawal after its mandate expires at the end of 2026. The EU aims to assist with the gradual transfer of internal security responsibilities from the Lebanese Armed Forces to the Internal Security Forces, and a meeting between EU and Lebanese officials is planned for December 15, 2025.

Scripture: Psalm 33:10-11
"The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation."
Commentary:
Efforts by regional and international actors to realign power or reshape security arrangements show how human plans often run up against greater obstacles than anticipated. It's easy for those nearby to feel uncertain when outside powers discuss their nation's future. Scripture points to a reality where God can overturn or redirect the strategies of even the most influential coalitions. This kind of international maneuvering around Lebanon and its security groups fits within prophetic patterns Scripture describes, where nations seek solutions and stability in a region that remains a focal point in end-time scenarios.
Trend:
International interventions in Lebanon’s security highlight persistent patterns of nations struggling to impose order around Israel’s northern borders.

A 2024 truce between Lebanon and Israel remains fragile, with Israel carrying out regular strikes on Lebanese territory that it says are targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah’s efforts to rearm. The document, produced by the EU’s diplomatic arm and circulated to the 27 member states, said it would pursue consultations with Lebanese authorities and that a scoping mission would take place in early 2026 on possible new assistance for the country’s Internal Security Forces. EU efforts could “focus on advice, training and capacity-building,” the paper said, adding that the bloc would not take over the tasks of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), whose mandate is set to expire at the end of 2026, when it is expec...
