Al-Muqdad meets with Ghoshat and stresses the necessity of conveying the facts of the Israeli attacks to the Security Council

Dr. Faisal Al-Miqdad, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, stressed the necessity for the United Nations Truce Supervision Commission (UNTSO) to carry out its duties in terms of conveying the facts and events to the Security Council, especially the Israeli attacks and violations of the Armistice Agreement, which threaten peace and security in the region.

This came during Dr. Al-Maqdad’s meeting today with Major General Patrick Gauchat, Head of Mission in the United Nations Truce Supervision Commission (UNTSO), and his accompanying delegation.

During the meeting, Minister Al-Moqdad expressed Syria’s appreciation for the work of the Peacekeeping Commission and its keenness on the mandate of UNSCO as a witness to the armistice line since 1948.

The discussion addressed the recent developments in Gaza, where Minister Al-Miqdad stressed that the brutal Israeli crimes against our people in Gaza must stop immediately, and that the United Nations must assume its responsibility in maintaining international security and stability, noting that the Israeli occupation authorities’ brazen attack on senior UN officials expresses the extent of the Israeli entity’s disrespect for international law and international legitimacy.

Minister Al-Moqdad also stressed the necessity and importance of the committee carrying out its tasks in terms of conveying the facts and events to the Security Council, especially the Israeli attacks and violations of the armistice agreement that threaten peace and security in the region.

Minister Al-Moqdad warned of the consequences of Israel’s continued air attacks on Syria, and the need to condemn them and work to stop them by the United Nations.

For his part, Major General Ghoshat praised the cooperation shown by the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic with the mission and its provision of all facilities that enable its members to carry out the mandate entrusted to them.

He said that, in accordance with his mandate, he discussed the recent developments in Gaza and their implications for the work of the United Nations Truce Supervision Mission and other peacekeeping missions with the concerned countries in the region, pointing out the importance of the Committee’s mandate and the need to affirm international support for its work, and the region’s need for it to continue carrying out its tasks.

The meeting was attended by Minister Counselor Qusay Al-Dahhak, Director of the Department of International Organizations and Conferences, and Brigadier General Azdshir Al-Hawrani, Head of the Office of the Truce Delegation in the Syrian Arab Republic.
