“The situation in the UNDOF area of operations remains volatile and continues to be characterized by significant violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, with Israeli forces entering the buffer zone.” In his address to the UN Security Council during yesterday’s session on Israeli attacks on Syrian territory, Lacroix said.
According to the Turkish Anadolu Agency, Lacroix stressed that “all actions that contradict the agreement are unacceptable,” affirming that it is imperative for all parties to fulfill their obligations under the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
