A United Nations envoy has warned that the latest truce deal in Lebanon is likely to remain “fragile” for months to come.
Terje Roed-Larsen commented on the current situation in the Middle East region as he visited Jerusalem for talks with the Israeli government.
Currently the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has lasted just 10-days, and the UN has said that an international force is urgently needed for this to remain.
However, as the truce nears its two-week mark, there have been very few significant offers of troops, and the EU is now planning a meeting today to try and secure further promises of contributions to a UN force.
