Mr. Guterres was speaking on Wednesday to reporters in Pretoria, South Africa, where he met with Government officials in connection with the country\u2019s presidency of the G20 group of industrial nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we speak, we are witnessing the reshaping of the Middle East, with the changes in the correlation of forces among the key regional actors,\u201d he said, stressing that the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and statehood must be constantly reaffirmed. \u201cBut we also see some signs of hope, and signs of hope mainly coming from the end of the Syrian dictatorship,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary-General said his Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, is engaging with all the key actors on the way forward, \u201cand I fully trust the Syrian people, to be able to choose their own destiny. Mr. Guterres was asked if he thought world leaders understood that \u201cthe Middle East question\u201d must be resolved as the entire region will be affected.<\/p>\n<p>He underlined that the international community has a duty to \u201cdo everything to support the different Syrian leaders\u201d to ensure that they come together and guarantee a smooth and inclusive transition. \u201cThe alternative doesn&#8217;t make any sense,\u201d he said. \u201cSyrians had enough divisions. It&#8217;s time for unity, and it&#8217;s time for the reestablishment of its territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The UN chief was also asked about Israel\u2019s further advancement into the Golan in southwest Syria, which it has occupied for decades, and a response to President Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly saying that the region will be part of Israel \u201cfor eternity\u201d. Mr. Guterres said \u201cthe concept of eternity\u201d is difficult to define. He noted that the Golan is occupied by Israel, \u201cbut that occupation is not internationally recognized. And so, I would say that eternity would not solve the problem of the violations of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the security situation in Syria remains volatile as Israeli airstrikes and localized hostilities continue to affect many areas, the UN humanitarian affairs office, OCHA, said on Wednesday. OCHA expressed concern over the risks of explosive ordnance to people moving around the country. Humanitarian partners have identified more than 50 minefields over the past 10 days, which is curtailing the movement of civilians and impeding the delivery of goods and services.<\/p>\n<p>The UN and partners continue to support humanitarian response across the country and are resuming activities as security conditions allow.\u202f Listen to our interview with Samer Abdel Jaber of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) which is seeking $250 million to kickstart key supply chain corridors and ease food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/12\/1158086\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/12\/1158086\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/guterres-upholds-un-commitment-to-a-smooth-and-inclusive-transition-in-syria\/\">Guterres upholds UN commitment to a smooth and inclusive transition in Syria<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[9930,1901,2211,972,402,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-commitment","tag-guterres","tag-syria","tag-transition","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136009\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
