UN Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres visited the UN forces stationed in the buffer zone between Syria and Israel, marking his first trip to the area since the start of the civil war, and urged the international community to help rebuild the war‑torn country.
According to The Times of Israel, Guterres used the visit to call on all nations to provide assistance for Syria’s reconstruction after years of conflict, and he traveled to a UN observation post within the buffer zone to speak with the troops on the ground.
The Syrian civil war has left widespread devastation and a need for extensive aid and reconstruction, making international support crucial for the country’s recovery.
