The sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Syria must be respected by all countries of the world, South African Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola said on Wednesday following talks with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who arrived in Pretoria.The minister believes that the international community should now assist Syria in stabilizing the internal situation.On Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces deployed troops in the buffer zone along the Syrian border to secure Israeli settlements in the occupied Golan Heights. This action follows a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who declared that the Golan Heights disengagement agreement with Syria, established after the 1973 Yom Kippur War, is no longer valid due to the Syrian military's withdrawal from its positions.Netanyahu also asserted that "the Golan Heights will forever remain an integral part of Israel," despite the fact that Israel seized the territory from Syria during the Six-Day War in 1967 and later annexed it unilaterally in 1981. The United Nations and the majority of countries continue to view the area as Syrian territory under Israeli occupation.

On Sunday, armed groups in Syria seized control of Damascus, the nation's capital. By Tuesday, reports emerged that the Syrian opposition had authorized Mohammed al-Bashir, the head of the "salvation government" created by opposition forces, to establish an interim government in the country.
