EU Approves Civil-Military Mission in Lebanon Following UNIFIL Withdrawal

The mission's scope and timeline remain uncertain, but it signals a shift from UN to EU-led security engagement in southern Lebanon. This matters as it could alter the regional security balance and EU force posture near Israel's northern border.
