Arab, regional ministers back Syria's unity, condemn 'Israeli' strikes

Foreign ministers from Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Egypt concluded two days of intensive talks on the situation in Syria, culminating in a joint statement expressing unified support for the Syrian government’s efforts to restore security, stability, and sovereignty across the country.

The ministers reaffirmed their collective support for Syria’s unity and territorial integrity, emphasizing the need to preserve its sovereignty and reject all forms of foreign interference in its internal affairs.

In their statement, the ministers welcomed the agreement reached to end the crisis in sweida, urging its full implementation as a means to protect civilians, preserve national unity, and uphold state authority and the rule of law.

They also praised Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa’s commitment to holding accountable those responsible for violations against civilians in sweida, and expressed support for all efforts to reestablish law, order, and civil peace in the province and across Syria.

The statement included a strong condemnation of repeated 'Israeli' attacks on Syrian territory, describing them as blatant violations of international law and an assault on Syria’s sovereignty. The ministers warned that such attacks undermine regional stability and obstruct Syria’s reconstruction efforts.

Declaring that Syria’s security is essential for regional peace, the ministers called on the international community to support Syria in its rebuilding process.

They also urged the UN Security Council to take responsibility for ensuring Israel’s full withdrawal from all occupied Syrian territories, halting hostilities, and enforcing international resolutions, including Resolution 2766 and the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
