The A3+ group in the UN Security Council expressed its deep concern on Wednesday over the recent Israeli incursions into parts of Syria.

This came in a speech delivered by Algeria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Amar Benjamaa, on behalf of the members of the group during a Security Council meeting devoted to discussing the humanitarian situation in Syria.

The A3 Plus group includes the three African countries that hold non-permanent seats on the Security Council, currently Algeria, Sierra Leone and Mozambique, in addition to the Caribbean country of Guyana, which has historical solidarity ties with the African continent.

In his speech, Bin Jameh said: “We remain deeply concerned about the actions of the Israeli occupation forces in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights and their incursions into other parts of Syria.”

He added: "The A3 Plus Group remains committed to its principles of Syria's unity, independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity."

In the same context, the Algerian delegate stressed, saying: “We categorically reject any attempts to divide Syria, annex any part of its territory, or violate its sovereignty and territorial integrity in any other way.”

Taking advantage of the Syrian factions’ overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on December 8, Israel has recently intensified its air strikes targeting military sites in various parts of the country, in a flagrant violation of its sovereignty.

Israel also announced the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria, and the deployment of its army in the demilitarized buffer zone in the Syrian Golan Heights, most of whose area it has occupied since 1967, in a move condemned by the United Nations and Arab countries.

Recent statements by Israeli officials regarding Syria reflect anger at the new administration taking over after the fall of the Assad regime, which media reports and statements by officials indicate that Israel never wanted to see fall and "saw it as a useful player."

During the same Security Council meeting chaired by Algeria on Wednesday, Ben Jamaa considered that Syria "is currently at a pivotal crossroads after its people have suffered for years."

He pointed out that the Syrian people "now aspire to build a future in which a unified Syria flourishes, embracing all its citizens, regardless of their backgrounds."

The Algerian delegate called for the need to maintain steadfast support for a comprehensive political process in Syria "led by the Syrians, and in line with Security Council Resolution 2254."

"After 14 years of devastating conflict, the Syrian people deserve the full support and solidarity of the international community," he said.

Resolution 2254 was issued by the United Nations in 2015, and expresses support for a Syrian-led political process facilitated by the United Nations, which establishes credible, inclusive, non-sectarian governance, and sets a timetable and process for drafting a new constitution.

Ben Jameh, on the other hand, pointed out that the humanitarian situation in Syria "remains catastrophic and requires urgent attention."

He pointed out that the recent developments in Syria "caused the displacement of more than 664,000 people recently," according to him, which requires "strengthening efforts to facilitate their safe and dignified return."

He continued, addressing the Syrians: “It is time to silence the guns and work together for a brighter future for your country.”

It is noteworthy that the administration formed in Syria after the fall of the Assad regime confirms that the country, in its new era, will guarantee the dignity and freedom of its citizens, with fair representation of all spectrums and ethnicities.

But she vowed to bring to justice those involved in killing and torturing thousands of Syrians during the rule of the ousted regime.
