Situation in Syria (October 6, 2023)

France is troubled by the new wave of violence in Syria, which has left more than a hundred dead, including dozens of civilians, and resulted in damage to civilian infrastructure.

France calls on all the parties to exercise restraint and protect civilian populations.

France reiterates its support for the call issued by the UN Secretary-General and his special envoy for a cessation of hostilities throughout Syria and a political solution in accordance with resolution 2254, which was adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council.
