Arab Nations Condemn Israeli Incursions Into Syria, Affirm Support for Damascus

Riyadh: Arab countries have condemned Israel's ongoing military activities in Syria, labeling them as violations of Syrian sovereignty and international law. The Saudi Foreign Ministry articulated its strong disapproval of Israel's actions, describing them as a "clear violation" of Syrian sovereignty, international law, and the 1974 disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel.

According to Anadolu Agency, Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its unwavering support for Syria's territorial integrity and rejected any separatist movements aimed at dividing the nation. The Saudi ministry called for dialogue among all parties and urged the international community to support Syria in attaining security and stability, urging a firm global stance against Israel's continued violations.

Qatar also criticized the Israeli incursions, describing them as a "blatant violation" of Syria's sovereignty and a challenge to international efforts for Syria's reconstruction and peace. The Qatari Foreign Ministry urged the international community to take decisive action against Israel's occupation and to compel a halt to its aggressive actions.

Jordan joined in condemning Israel's actions, calling them a "dangerous escalation" that threatens Syria's stability and sovereignty. The Jordanian Foreign Ministry demanded an end to Israeli attacks and reiterated its solidarity with Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, emphasizing the importance of Syria's stability for regional security.

The recent Israeli military activity in the Quneitra countryside, located in the disengagement zone of the occupied Golan Heights, resulted in the death of one resident and the arrest of another. This area has been under Israeli control since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in 2024 when Israel expanded its occupation, contravening the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
