<\/p>\n

\n

The Secretary-General learned today of Austria’s decision to withdraw its troops from Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDOF.  He regrets Austria's decision to withdraw, which follows a longstanding and valuable contribution to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDOF.  The Secretary-General calls on all parties to ensure that the announced Austrian withdrawal takes place in an orderly manner. The Secretary-General is approaching Member States in an effort to identify urgently new contributors or additional contributions to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDOF. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Secretary-General reminds all actors in Syria that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDOF is mandated to monitor the Disengagement of Forces Agreement between Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic. The continued presence of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDOF in the area is essential. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Secretary-General is very grateful to those countries who are continuing to provide troops and military observers to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDOF. He calls on all parties to respect Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDOF’s freedom of movement and safety and security. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Secretary-General condemns the attack which led to injuries suffered by two Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDOF peacekeepers today. The Secretary-General underlines that any military activity in the area of separation have the potential to escalate tensions between Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic and to jeopardize the long-held ceasefire between the two countries.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Secretary-General stresses once again that all concerned in the region must abide by international law and relevant Security Council resolutions, and calls on all to work for de-escalation of violence. He urges parties to strictly respect the disengagement agreement, to stop fighting in the area of separation and to refrain from any violation of the disengagement line.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The crisis in Syria is having an increasingly destabilizing impact beyond its borders.  The Secretary-General is gravely concerned about the growing regional ramifications of the conflict.  He calls on all parties to move swiftly toward a political solution that is the only way to end the violence and the terrible suffering of the Syrian people.<\/p><\/div>\n
