The United Nations special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, speaks to journalists in Damascus, Syria, Feb. 13, 2023. Pedersen said Monday, Oct. 30, that the Israel-Hamas war is spilling into Syria, fueled by growing instability, violence and a lack of progress toward a political solution to its 12-year conflict. Pedersen told the Security Council that, on top of violence from the Syrian conflict, the Syrian people now face “a terrifying prospect of a potential wider escalation” following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and the ongoing retaliatory military action.
