This week fresh airstrikes were reported in the capital city of Damascus, which the Syrian government attributes to Israel. Israel has not commented, he said.
Late Monday, a Russian military aircraft was downed, killing 15 servicemen. The Russian Defense Ministry has stated that the plane was accidentally downed by Syrian government anti-aircraft fire, which was responding to Israeli fighter jets carrying out attacks just off the coast, he said.
Russia has blamed Israel for a provocation. Israel has stated that Israeli jets were targeting weapons shipments headed for Lebanon that threatened Israeli security, and has blamed the Syrian government for the incident, said de Mistura.
"We call upon all parties to refrain from military actions that would only exacerbate a complex situation," he said.
Despite the bad news, he asked for efforts to carry forward the political process in Syria since a full-scale attack on Idlib seems to have been averted.
"But for now, we are pleased that there is de-escalation in one major area: Idlib. And now that we have this deal, there is no reason not to move forward expeditiously with the political process," he told the Security Council.
Syrians look to the United Nations to facilitate a political process that can help them exit this war and enter into a better future -- a future that they determine, independently and democratically. That requires a real dialogue and genuine negotiation -- a process that is credible and inclusive, he said.
