Ankara urges Israel to halt strikes on Syria

Türkiye has condemned Israel’s continuing attacks on Syria, saying they violate the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and undermine its stabilization efforts.

Türkiye’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Ahmet Yıldız, made the remarks at a Security Council meeting on Syria on Aug. 27, citing the recent Israeli strikes on the Abu al-Duhur airbase in northwestern Syria.

“We condemn Israel’s relentless attacks targeting Syria’s infrastructure and capabilities in blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Yıldız said.

He said the attacks continued to affect civilians and undermine stability and “must cease.”
