Israeli attacks on Syria major risk for stability: Fidan
Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has described the Israeli attacks in southern Syria as a major risk for the stability and sovereignty of the country, reiterating his calls on the international community to impose more pressure on the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu government to stop its military operations.
His remarks came during a press conference along with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani in Ankara on Aug. 6.
“Israel’s attacks targeting Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are among the greatest threats to the country’s stability,” Fidan told reporters. He also called on the international community to impose stronger pressure on the Netanyahu government for the full implementation of the 1974-dated de-confliction mechanism between Israel and Syria.
Israel, which has been occupying Syria’s Golan Heights for decades, is seeking to expand its occupation in the Suweyda province of the country.
