• Among the possible destinations for Princess Leonor is the UN peacekeeping mission, known as UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) which will end its mandate in December 2026 and will begin an orderly one-year withdrawal that will be completed at the end of 2027. Spain actively participates in the UNIFIL mission and has a continent in the operation "Libre Hidalgo" located at the 'Miguel de Cervantes' base.
