Abstract
The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is experiencing one of the most stable periods since the establishment of the United Nations Interim Force for Lebanon, known as UNIFIL 2, in August 2006 under UN Security Council resolution 1701. However, the turmoil of the conflict that is shacking Syria since February 2011 is increasingly splashing neighboring countries, threatening to blow up their dissociation policies and to spread a spiral of violence throughout the region. In this context it is deemed relevant to analyze whether or not there might be short-term conditions for the evolution to a UNIFIL 3 characterized by a drastic downsizing as a result of the achievement of the objectives of resolution 1701, or by a reconfiguration of the mission entailing its involvement in a Syria post-conflict scenario.
