- UN official Najat Rochdi warned the Security Council that repeated Israeli violations of Syrian territory were worsening regional instability and undermining the 1974 agreement.
- UN Secretary-General António Guterres described Netanyahu’s public visit to the troops as deeply concerning and urged Israel to comply with the agreement.
- The 1974 agreement created the buffer zone, restricted troops on both sides and established UN peacekeepers to monitor the ceasefire, before Israel stationed troops there for the first time since then after Bashar Al Assad’s ousting in December 2024.
- Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon defended the presence as a protective measure, while Syria’s UN envoy Ibrahim Olabi said Syria remained committed to diplomacy and called for immediate UN action.
Mr Netanyahu’s 'very public' visit to troops stationed inside the disengagement zone was 'concerning to say the least'.— Comment by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Netanyahu’s visit to troops in the UN-patrolled buffer zone, urging Israel to respect the 1974 disengagement agreement.
