Russia has requested an urgent closed consultation at the United Nations Security Council to address the recent collapse of the Assad regime in Syria. The request comes in light of the unfolding events in Syria, the full extent and implications of which are yet to be fully comprehended.
The meeting is deemed necessary to discuss the situation concerning the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, responsible for upholding a ceasefire between Israel and Syria and overseeing a buffer zone that separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from the rest of Syria.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that he had instructed the military to 'take control' of the buffer zone, indicating a significant development in the region's dynamics.
