The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) has strongly condemned Israel’s recent airstrike on a research center in Syria.
In a statement, the NAM Coordinating Bureau in New York said the Israeli attack was a flagrant infringement of the United Nations Charter and principles as well as the Disengagement of Forces Agreement in 1974.
The Tel Aviv regime must be held accountable for the aggression and its consequences, the statement added, urging the UN Security Council to denounce the attack.
The Syrian army said on January 30 that two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a research center in Jamraya, near the capital, Damascus.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on February 3 that the Israeli regime was trying to “destabilize” Syria by its recent attack.
On January 31, the Syrian Foreign Ministry called on the UN Security Council to issue a “clear condemnation of the flagrant Israeli attack on the territories of a sovereign state and the Israeli violation of the UN Charter, the international law, the Disengagement of Forces Agreement in 1974 and the relevant UNSC resolutions.”
Many people, including large numbers of Syrian security forces, have been killed in the turmoil that began in Syria nearly two years ago. The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country.
