The Permanent Representative of Syria to the UN, on instruction from the new HTS-led government, has called on the UN Security Council to “take firm and immediate measures to oblige Israel to stop its ongoing attacks on Syrian territory […] and immediately withdraw” Note the date, December 9, a day after the taking of Damascus and the onset of the Israeli onslaught:
Petition to the UN Secretary General on behalf of the newly formed Syrian government: Date: December 9, 2024 To the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the Security Council On instructions from my Government, I would like to convey to you the following: At a time when the Syrian Arab Republic is witnessing a new phase in its history in which its people aspire to a state of freedom, equality, social justice, the rule of law, peace and stability, the Israeli occupation army has escalated its ongoing aggression on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, in Jil al-Sheikh and Quneitra Governorate, causing damage to property and lives, and is still ongoing, targeting a number of civilian and military sites within Syrian territory. The Syrian Arab Republic condemns in the strongest terms this Israeli aggression, which represents a serious violation of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, which was confirmed in Security Council Resolution No. 350 of 1974. It also constitutes a violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic, the unity and integrity of its territories, and contradicts the principles and Charter of the United Nations, the provisions of international law, and Security Council Resolutions 242, 338, and 497. Syria renews its call on the United Nations and the Security Council to assume their responsibilities and take firm measures to compel Israel to immediately cease its ongoing attacks on Syrian territory, ensure that they are not repeated, and withdraw immediately according to the areas agreed upon in the Disengagement Agreement, and fully abide by the Disengagement Agreement and the mandate of the UNDOF. I hope that this letter will be issued and circulated as a document of the Security Council and the 79th session of the General Assembly, within the framework of item No. 34 of its agenda entitled "The situation in the Middle East".
