Qatar and France issued a joint statement emphasizing the importance of maintaining an international presence to support the Lebanese government, as the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) is set to expire in December. Both countries also backed the trilateral framework agreement brokered by the United States between Lebanon, Israel, and the U.S., which aims to restore Lebanese sovereignty, disarm Hezbollah, and ensure the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon. Furthermore, the two nations reiterated their commitment to continue providing humanitarian aid to severely affected Lebanese civilians and underscored the importance of Lebanon undertaking economic and financial reforms.
