The latest ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon offers a chance to prevent a return to full-scale hostilities.
But the death of a UNIFIL peacekeeper and continued skirmishes underscore the tenuous nature of what was agreed.
The best way to reduce the threat posed by Hezbollah is to strengthen the Lebanese state, empower its institutions, and restore its monopoly on the use of force.
To support this effort, the EU today agreed to provide an extra €100 million to Lebanon’s Armed Forces.

Another night of terror in Ukraine. Another reminder what Ukrainian families endure every single day.
Russia's massive attack last night killed at least 21 people, leaving around 120 people injured.
There must be accountability for these deaths under international law.
