Arab League, Arab Parliament denounce repeated Israeli incursions into Syria

The Arab League and the Arab Parliament have denounced Israel’s overt attacks and repeated intrusions into Syria as a blatant violation of the Arab country’s sovereignty.

In a statement released on Monday, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, condemned Israel’s acts of aggression against Syria, its recent artillery strikes on the governorates of Quneitra and Dara’a, saying such actions endanger civilians and represent a blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty as well as a clear infringement of international law.

Aboul Gheit stated that the ongoing violations by Israeli occupation forces pose a risk of igniting broader regional conflict, expanding the fronts of warfare, and undermining efforts aimed at restoring security and stability.

He emphasized that the use of force by Israel is intolerable to the international community.

Aboul Gheit urged the United Nations Security Council to take action by putting an end to these aggressive behaviors and ensuring that Israel adheres to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.

President of the Arab Parliament, Mohamed Ahmed al-Yamahi, also censured the occupying Tel Aviv regime’s blatant aggression on Syrian territory and the artillery shelling of the provinces of Quneitra and Dara’a.

Yamahi further emphasized full solidarity with Syria and support for any action that the country takes to preserve its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

He called on the international community and the UN Security Council to take immediate action to stop these acts of aggression, which are escalating tensions in the region.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan condemn Israeli incursions into Syria

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan have denounced recent Israeli attacks and military incursions into southern Syria as a flagrant violation of international law.

The president of the Arab Parliament finally emphasized the legislature’s unwavering support for Syria’s security, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, and declared that Syria’s stability is among the fundamental pillars of the security of the Arab world.

Since the fall of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government in early December 2024, the Israeli military has been conducting airstrikes targeting military installations, facilities, and arsenals previously operated by the Syrian army.

Israel has faced widespread criticism for ending the 1974 ceasefire agreement with Syria and taking advantage of the chaos in the war-torn nation to seize territory.

Despite the ruling Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) regime’s pledges of cooperation with Tel Aviv, Israel has remained unwilling to withdraw from Syria.

The two sides have been engaged in on-and-off talks to reach a “security agreement”, but no deal or concrete progress has been announced.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered his forces to push deeper into Syrian territory beyond the 1967-occupied Golan Heights and seize several strategic locations.

The bulk of the Israeli attacks have been concentrated in the southern Syrian governorates of Quneitra, Dara’a, and Damascus, which account for nearly 80 percent of all recorded Israeli attacks.
