Arab League Denounces Israeli Attacks on Syria, Calls for De-escalation and National Unity

The General Secretariat of the League of Arab States issued a strong condemnation of the Israeli airstrikes on Syria. These strikes included attacks on the General Staff Headquarters in Damascus and areas near the Presidential Palace.

In an evening statement, the Secretariat characterized the airstrikes as a clear violation of the sovereignty of an Arab state. Syria is a member of both the Arab League and the United Nations. The attacks were deemed a breach of international law and a disregard for the principles of the international system. They were explicitly labeled as "acts of aggression" that should not be tolerated or allowed to continue by the regional or international community.

The Secretariat further stated that the airstrikes appeared intended to create instability within Syria. This was seen as an attempt to exploit recent events in the As-Suwayda Governorate. These events were condemned by Syrian authorities as "disgraceful acts" and are currently under investigation, with promises to hold those responsible accountable.

The Arab League expressed its complete solidarity with Syria in response to the Israeli attacks. It urged the Syrian government to take immediate action to de-escalate tensions. The statement also encouraged addressing internal issues through dialogue and working towards national unity by including all segments of the Syrian population within a unified national framework.
