Peacekeepers from the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), which has monitored the Syrian-Israeli border since 1974, were relocated from several positions including Camp Faouar, a base inside of Syria, to Israel.

“The situation in UNDOF on the Syrian side and the area of separation has deteriorated severely over the last several days,” a U.N. statement said, the Wall Street Journal reported. “Armed groups have made advances in the area of UNDOF positions, posing a direct threat to the safety and security of the U.N. Peacekeepers.

The move comes about a week after rebels from the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front released 45 Fijian peacekeepers, who had been held hostage for nearly two weeks following the capture of the region by rebels groups.

  1. The UN is sending their troops, for their safety, to a country accused and being investigated by them for war crimes? Does the UN know what they’re doing?

  2. So, the U.N. shelters its troops in a country whose leaders have committed “war crimes”. Hypocrisy knows no bounds
