UN envoy calls on Israel to stop airstrikes and ground invasion in Syria
The UN's special envoy to Syria has urged Israel to halt its airstrikes and ground invasion in Syria, citing violations of the 1974 disengagement agreement. The envoy stated that the situation will be closely monitored by the UN. Israeli troops have reportedly crossed into Syria from the Golan Heights, which Israel captured in 1967. Israel claims its actions are limited and necessary for security, denying reports of advancing towards Damascus. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey have condemned Israel's military presence in Syria, calling it a violation of international law. They criticized Israel for undermining Syria's stability and sovereignty amid ongoing conflict in the region.
