Continued Arab Rejection of Israeli Actions in Syria
The ongoing tensions surrounding Israel's military actions in Syria have prompted a unified response from Arab nations, condemning Israel's recent seizure of the buffer zone in the Golan Heights. Following the collapse of the separation of forces agreement with Syria, various countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Oman, Algeria, and others, have voiced their disapproval. The UAE Foreign Ministry emphasized the importance of Syria's unity and territorial integrity, while Egypt called for a comprehensive political process to stabilize the region.
The Arab League and several nations reiterated their commitment to Syria's sovereignty, condemning what they describe as Israel's opportunistic actions amid Syria's ongoing instability. Al-Azhar, a prominent Islamic institution, criticized Israel's exploitation of the situation to expand its territorial claims. The Palestinian National Initiative Movement urged global intervention against Israeli aggression, highlighting the need for solidarity among Arab and Islamic nations.
Israeli Military Operations Escalate in Syria
In tandem with the Arab nations' condemnation, reports indicate that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified their military operations in Syria. Recent airstrikes targeted Syrian military facilities, including air defense systems and research centers in Aleppo, as well as attacks on military airports in Homs and Raqqa. The IDF has also deployed tanks across the Quneitra area in the buffer zone, further escalating tensions along the Israel-Syria border.
Syria's representative to the UN has called for international intervention to prevent Israel from exploiting the political turmoil in Syria. Reports suggest that senior officials from the Assad regime have fled to Lebanon, seeking refuge amid the ongoing conflict. This exodus highlights the instability within the Syrian government and raises concerns about the future of the region as Israel continues its military operations.
