Saudi Arabia renews call for international community to stand by Syria
DUBAI: The Saudi foreign ministry condemned the Israeli attacks on Syrian territory in a statement on X. The ministry expressed its satisfaction with the measures taken by the Syrian government to achieve security and stability over all Syrian territory. Saudi Arabia called for the international community to stand by Syria and confront these ongoing Israeli attacks and violations against Syria. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan discussed Israeli attacks on Syria with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Wednesday. The two ministers held the call after Israel launched powerful airstrikes in Damascus on Wednesday, blowing up part of the defense ministry and hitting near the presidential palace. The attacks marked a significant Israeli escalation against President Ahmed Al-Sharaa's government and came despite his warming ties with the US and his administration's evolving security contacts with Israel. Scores of people have been killed this week in violence in and around the predominantly Druze city of Sweida, pitting fighters from the Druze minority against government security forces and members of Bedouin tribes.
