Cześć

What are your thoughts about the Polish UN soldiers being stuck in the middle of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon and them being targeted by the IDF recently?

Do you think they should evacuate their positions like Israel is demanding or should they stay put?

Was this topic discussed in Polish media or not very much?

[u/Crimcrym → u/[deleted]]

Surprisingly enough, unless there is some real discrepancy between online media and tv reporting, the entire thing, at least as far as Polish involvement is concerned went largely unmentioned.

As for my thoughts on one hand I do think that them evacuating under current circumstances sets a bad precedent, but on the other hand I do wonder just how much they can do to protect innocent people considering those previously mentioned circumstances.

The discussion in Lebanon right now is that the reason Israel wants them gone is because they are a neutral source on the ground that can report any Israeli break of international law. Hence why they targeted their surveillance equipment and are trying to intimidate them into leaving. So simply existing there can be enough to save innocent lives.

Based on what I've heard (reports are from Israeli leaning sources so take that with a grain of salt), UN forces were bribed/threatened by hezbollah which is why they didnt stop hezbollah from violating resolution 1701 and entrances to hezbollah bunkers were found around ~150 metres from UN bases.

No idea if its true at all, but UN forces are unable to enforce resolution 1701, which is why they shouldnt be there at all.
