The United Nations Security Council today unanimously adopted resolution 2749 (2024), extending the mission's mandate until 31 August 2025. As daily exchanges of fire are having devastating effects on civilians on both sides of the Blue Line, the Security Council strongly urged all relevant actors to implement immediate measures towards de-escalation. It further demanded the parties recommit to the full implementation of all provisions of resolution 1701 and reiterated its strong support for full respect for the Blue Line and full cessation of hostilities. The new resolution condemned incidents affecting UNIFIL premises and forces, including the wounding of several peacekeepers. All parties were urged to take all measures to respect the safety and security of UNIFIL personnel and premises, as well to allow UNIFIL to carry out the functions envisaged in resolution 1701.
