Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says that Israel is not intervening amid developments in the Syrian civil war, but that the country is concerned about violations of a 1974 disengagement agreement.
“Over the past day armed forces have entered the buffer zone on the Syrian side of the border with Israel, and have attacked the UNDOF forces in the area,” says Sa’ar in a statement. “Israel is concerned about violations of the disengagement deal with Syria from May 1974,” which pose a threat to Israeli security, particularly in the Golan Heights, he adds.
Sa’ar adds that “the State of Israel is not intervening in the internal conflict in Syria.”
