EPP expresses solidarity with the Lebanese people and calls for international efforts to restore peace
06. March 2026
The European People’s Party (EPP) expresses its solidarity with the Lebanese people as the country is once again drawn into war. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and with all civilians who have been displaced and are enduring the consequences of the escalation in the Middle East.
The EPP has two partner parties in Lebanon, Lebanese Forces and Kataeb. We stand by them as they work to support those most affected by the conflict and forced to flee their homes.
The EPP also expresses its support for the decision of the Lebanese government to ban Hezbollah’s military activities and achieve its disarmament in accordance with the Resolution 1701 of the UN Security Council. We call for strong international efforts to restore stability, peace, and security in Lebanon, notably by strengthening the Lebanese Armed Forces and by increasing pressure and sanctions on Iran and Hezbollah.
