دانت وزارة الخارجية وشؤون المغتربين الغارات الجوية الإسرائيلية التي استهدفت مطار أبو الظهور العسكري في محافظة إدلب في الجمهورية العربية السورية الشقيقة؛ عدوانًا غير مُبرَّر، وانتهاكًا صارخًا لسيادة سوريا ووحدة أراضيها، وخرقًا فاضحًا للقانون الدولي وميثاق الأمم المتحدة.

The ministry stated that the military action represents a breach of international law and the United Nations Charter.
Official Spokesperson for the Ministry, Ambassador Fouad Al-Majali, emphasized the immediate need to halt all repeated 'Israeli' attacks and measures targeting Syria's security and stability:
"The repeated Israeli attacks and measures targeting Syria's security and stability constitute a violation of the United Nations Charter and a dangerous escalation that will only contribute to further conflict and tension in the region," Ambassador Al-Majali stated.
Ambassador Al-Majali called upon the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities to compel 'Israel' to cease its provocative and illegal attacks on Syria.
The spokesperson further urged international enforcement to end 'Israel's' occupation of Syrian land, emphasizing the necessity of forcing 'Israel' to abide by international law, international legitimacy resolutions, state sovereignty, and non-interference in internal affairs.
Concurrently, the foreign ministry reaffirmed Jordan’s unwavering position in supporting Syria as it rebuilds on foundations that guarantee its unity, sovereignty, security, stability, territorial integrity, and the protection of the rights of all Syrian citizens.
