The UN will submit a detailed report to the Security Council later this month on Israeli violations in Syria, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, and urged the removal of all sanctions imposed on Syria.
Speaking at a news conference in Damascus on Sunday, Guterres stressed that violations of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are “unacceptable”, urging Israel to comply with the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
“The atrocities Syria has witnessed have not broken the Syrian people’s resolve to pursue their legitimate aspirations,” he added.
He also warned that UN humanitarian assistance currently meets only about 20 percent of the Syrian people’s needs.
Guterres also urged the removal of all sanctions imposed on Syria during the Assad regime as he concluded a two-day visit to the country.
