Council denounces 'all forms of negative or destructive interference in Syria's political, security and economic transition'
The UN Security Council reiterated Sunday its "strong commitment" to Syria's sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity while condemning interference in the country's transition.
"The Security Council ... reaffirms its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic and calls on all states to respect these principles," the council said in a statement.
It condemned "all forms of negative or destructive interference in Syria's political, security and economic transition," warning that such interventions undermine stability efforts.
The statement called on all states to "refrain from any action or interference that may further destabilize the country."
The declaration comes as the Syrian administration works to restore stability after Bashar al-Assad was ousted in late 2024, ending nearly 25 years of authoritarian rule.
Following Assad's fall, Israel expanded its occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, violating the 1974 disengagement agreement.
Israel also launched hundreds of airstrikes targeting Syrian military sites, including fighter jets, missile systems, and air defense installations.
