France urges Israel to withdraw forces from Syria buffer zone

Israel must withdraw forces from the buffer zone separating the annexed Golan Heights from Syrian territory, France's foreign ministry said Wednesday.

"Any military deployment in the separation zone between Israel and Syria is a violation of the disengagement agreement of 1974... France calls on Israel to withdraw from the zone and to respect Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity," a foreign ministry spokesman said.
