UN accuses Israel of breaching ceasefire agreement with Syria
17 December 2024 21:06 GMT

The United Nations has accused Israel of breaching the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria after Israeli forces seized control of a demilitarised buffer zone previously maintained under the ceasefire.
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stated that the presence of Israeli troops in the zone constitutes a violation of the long-standing agreement.
“The agreement must be upheld; occupation remains occupation, regardless of its duration,” Dujarric said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has since declared that Israeli forces will remain stationed at the border until a suitable alternative is found.
