Macron convenes Lebanon, Jordan leaders to coordinate military support as UN exits south Lebanon

France is hosting Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Jordan's King Abdullah II to coordinate international military support for Lebanon, aiming to prevent a security vacuum following the UN's departure from southern Lebanon. The meeting signals a shift toward bilateral and regional security arrangements as UNIFIL's role ends, with concrete support still undefined. This matters because it could reshape the security architecture in southern Lebanon and affect regional stability.
