Russia turns on Israel in UN Security Council? Because the assessments in Israel are that the initiative will not receive support and therefore there is only a slim chance that it will be promoted.
Russia has already publicly condemned the attack. A statement from Russia’s Foreign Ministry said that “we need to reiterate our position that the ongoing Israeli bombing of Syria is a violation of basic international law. It is unacceptable.”
This is not Russia’s first reference to the attack attributed to Israel. A Russian statement issued shortly after the incident said: “In the early morning hours of June 10, the Israeli Air Force again attacked the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. The target of the attack was Damascus International Airport. According to incoming information, the airport was seriously damaged.” .
“We are forced to emphasize that the ongoing Israeli shelling of Syrian territory, in violation of the basic norms of international law, is unacceptable. We strongly condemn Israel’s provocative attack on critical Syrian civilian infrastructure. Such irresponsible actions pose serious risks to international air traffic. “We put the lives of innocent people in real danger. We demand that the Israeli side stop this evil practice.”
