The only place that UN peacekeepers on the Golan Heights feel safe is in Israel - exactly the feeling of Israelis. But that's the same place that a constant stream of UN resolutions demand Israel leave and turn over to Syria. The irony is lost on the UN.
On September 15, 2014 the UN announced that its peacekeepers were "relocated" to Israel from all of their posts in the Syrian Golan Heights due to a "deteriorating situation".
The following are remarks by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General:
"An update from the UN Disengagement Force in Golan Heights (UNDOF) - the situation in UN Disengagement Force on the Syrian side and the area of separation, has deteriorated severely over the last several days. Armed groups have made advances in the area of UNDOF positions, posing a direct threat to the safety and security of the UN peacekeepers along the Bravo line and in Camp Faouar. All of UN personnel in these positions have thus been relocated to the Alpha side. UNDOF continues to use all available assets to carry out its mandated tasks in this exceptionally challenging period and environment."
