I am concluding a very meaningful and productive visit to Lebanon.  I have been profoundly moved by all I saw and heard. 

Throughout my time here, I have sensed an atmosphere of opportunity.

A solar project, completed with support from UNIFIL’s Polish peacekeepers, was inaugurated in the south-western Lebanese village of Ayn Ibil last week. 

This morning peacekeepers observed an IDF bulldozer destroying a blue barrel marking the line of withdrawal between Lebanon and Israel in Labbouneh, as well as an observation tower belonging to the Lebanese Armed Forces immediately beside a UNIFIL position there.
