Top envoy condemns Israeli military escalation in Syria

By Anjali Sharma

UNITED NATIONS – UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen on Thursday has condemned the repeated and intensifying military escalations by Israel in Syria including airstrikes that have caused civilian casualties.

Geir Pedersen said in a statement issued “Such actions undermine efforts to build a new Syria at peace with itself and the region, and destabilize Syria at a sensitive time,”.

He called on Israel to cease these attacks which could amount to serious violations of international law, to respect Syria’s sovereignty and existing agreements, and to cease unilateral actions on the ground.

Pedersen urged all parties to prioritize diplomatic solutions and dialogue to address security concerns and prevent further escalation.
