I was glad to welcome editors and brief them on #UNIFIL ’s activities. By writing stories that matter, editors and journalists help local people understand what we are doing. This is crucial to the success of our mandate, and to maintaining peace and stability in the area.

اعرب عن قلقي الشديد حيال اطلاق صواريخ الذي حصل الليلة الماضية والرد عليها. ان الهدوء وضبط النفس هما في مصلحة كل المقيمين على طول الخط الأزرق. يعمل فريق التحقيق التابع لليونيفيل على الأرض وقد دعوت جميع الأطراف الى التعاون التام مع التحقيق.

Our impartial role in conveying crucial messages to reduce tensions and prevent dangerous misunderstandings remains critical, aiming to avert any unwarranted escalation. Peacekeepers have had to adapt to the situation, but our work in support of the resolution continues.

التقيت اليوم في بيروت برئيس مجلس النواب نبيه بري ورئيس حكومة تصريف الأعمال نجيب ميقاتي، وذلك قبيل مشاورات مجلس الأمن الدولي حول القرار 1701 (2006).   وأعربت عن قلقي العميق إزاء الوضع في الجنوب واحتمال وقوع أعمال عدائية أوسع نطاقاً وأكثر حدّة.

ويظلّ دورنا المحايد شديد الأهمية لناحية إيصال الرسائل الحاسمة للحدّ من التوترات ومنع سوء الفهم الخطير، بهدف تجنّب أي تصعيد غير مبرر.   لقد كان على حفظة السلام مواءمة عملهم مع الوضع، ولكن عملنا لدعم القرار مستمر.

كما شكرتهم على جهودهم من أجل استعادة الاستقرار خلال هذه الأيام الحرجة، بما في ذلك من خلال القنوات الدبلوماسية، وكذلك على الثقة التي وضعوها في آليات الارتباط التي تضطلع بها اليونيفيل لتجنّب المزيد من التصعيد.

إن أولويات اليونيفيل الآن هي منع التصعيد، وحماية أرواح المدنيين، وضمان سلامة وأمن حفظة السلام الذين يحاولون تحقيق ذلك.   إن القرار رقم 1701 يواجه تحدياً في الوقت الراهن، إلا أن مبادئه المتعلّقة بالأمن والاستقرار والتوصّل إلى حلّ طويل الأمد تظلّ صالحة.
