“Such actions are unacceptable and threatening to destabilize the already fragile situation, increasing regional tension and undermining efforts to reduce escalation and sustainable political transition,” said Jerr Pedersen – in a statement conveyed by the United Nations News Center – that “such works are unacceptable and threaten to destabilize the already fragile situation, increase regional tension and undermine efforts to reduce escalation and sustainable political transition.”
The condemnation comes in the wake of a recent wave of air strikes and land raids that targeted southern Syria, which the Israeli government says is necessary for national security and removing weapons from the hands of armed groups hostile to Israel.
Pedersen called on Israel to “stop violations, fulfill its international obligations, and refrain from unilateral measures that exacerbate the conflict.”
