DAMASCUS (HRNW) — Syria has suspended contacts with Israel following an alleged Israeli attack on the Abu al-Duhur military airbase, according to Syria’s Foreign Minister.
The minister said Syria does not trust Israel and that Damascus’s priority is to stop what it described as Israeli aggression before reaching any potential security agreement.
Focus on Security Before Any Agreement
According to the Syrian Foreign Minister, Damascus wants Israeli military actions to cease before making progress toward a possible security agreement with Israel.
He said any future agreement must respect Syria’s security and sovereignty and address concerns over continued military actions.
Human Rights and Regional Peace
The escalating tensions between Syria and Israel raise serious concerns regarding civilian protection, regional stability and international humanitarian law. All parties have a responsibility to protect civilians and avoid actions that could further escalate the conflict.
Diplomatic engagement, de-escalation and peaceful mechanisms should be prioritized to address disputes, while any alleged violations should be investigated through transparent and impartial processes.
