Guterres Condemns Israeli Actions in Syria
The United Nations stated that António Guterres, the Secretary-General, will present a detailed report to the Security Council by the end of the month regarding Israeli violations in Syria, reaffirming his rejection of any infringement on its sovereignty. This statement came during his first visit to Syria since 2009, which marks a transitional phase following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024. Guterres emphasized that violations undermining Syria’s sovereignty are unacceptable and called on Israel to adhere to the 1974 disengagement agreement. He also pointed out that humanitarian aid currently covers only about 20% of the needs and revealed atrocities committed in the Saydnaya prison, where tens of thousands have been killed and tortured. Guterres reaffirmed support for Syria’s transitional phase and the necessity of holding those responsible for crimes accountable, stressing that Syria remains a pillar of regional stability, and called for integrating it into the regional and international economy.
