United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Israel's airstrikes in Syria and called for them to stop.
"Extensive Israeli air strikes continue. These are violations of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and they must stop," he declared during a press conference on Thursday.
Israel began launching strikes following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, targeting strategic weapons and military infrastructure to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
"Syria's sovereignty, territorial unity, and integrity must be fully restored, and all acts of aggression must come to an immediate end," Guterres said.
Regarding the buffer zone between Israel and Syria, which the IDF entered after the regime collapsed, he stated: "Let me be clear: There should be no military forces in the area of separation other than UN peacekeepers – period. Israel and Syria must uphold the terms of the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement, which remains fully in force." (Read More)
