Attacks on Unifil unacceptable: Austria's Schallenberg

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, OCT 14 - "The attacks we have seen in recent days on the Unifil blue helmets are simply unacceptable; we ask all parties to respect the UN mandate," said Alexander Schallenberg, Austrian Federal Minister for European and International Affairs, upon arrival at the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg. "Austria is one of the EU's most pro-Israel countries. We are not spectators; we have 120 soldiers in the bases, we are very concerned, and we have called Israel to clearly explain our position: they will not withdraw, they will continue their mission, and we expect all parties to ensure their safety," he added.
