Kuwait city: The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution to renew the mandate of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) for six months.
According to Kuwait News Agency, this decision was made during a meeting held by the Council, where all 15 members voted in favor of Resolution No. 2782. Last week, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, emphasized that the force continues to play a crucial role in coordinating between the Syrian and Israeli occupation authorities, doing its utmost to maintain disengagement.
The UNDOF was established on May 31, 1974, as tensions between the Israeli occupation and Syria escalated, with exchanges of fire intensifying in early March 1974. The force was created under Security Council Resolution 350 (1974) to monitor the disengagement agreement between Israeli and Syrian forces in the Golan Heights, and it has continued its operations in the area since then.
