“Stop attacking”
Asked whether Israel’s claim that it was trying to prevent weapons from falling into “the wrong hands” could justify its repeated attacks on Syria, Dujarric said: “Many countries violate the sovereignty of other countries. It justifies it.”
What is clear is that we are concerned about these repeated violations of our vital sovereignty and vital territorial integrity.”
Dujarric said Syria “needs the support of its neighbors to move toward an inclusive, democratic and minority rights-protecting form of governance,” adding, “Syria’s rulers will It is also essential to ensure that.” All weapons and everything will be under control and there will be no danger of looting or disappearance. ”
Mr. Dujarric said Mr. Guterres’ message to Israel was to stop attacking Syria and to “other countries that may take advantage of this opportunity as well.”
“But there are no other countries. We talked about violations, especially those by Israel,” he added.
Israeli forces seized a buffer zone in Syria’s occupied Golan Heights on Sunday, shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the abandonment of the UN-monitored military disengagement agreement with Damascus.
The military carried out hundreds of airstrikes against military bases, air defense bases, intelligence headquarters, long- and short-range missile bases, and unconventional weapons storage sites across Syria.
Rebel forces captured Damascus on Sunday after a lightning advance that saw President Bashar al-Assad flee to Russia after 13 years of civil war and 53 years of family rule.
