Minister Fidan also held a call with the US Envoy for Syria, Thomas Barrack, stressing that both the Israeli attacks in Syria and the ongoing violence in Sweida must be brought to an immediate halt. He also conducted discussions with his Jordanian and Saudi counterparts. According to sources from the Turkish foreign ministry, Fidan and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud agreed that the attacks on Syria undermine efforts to restore stability in the country, emphasising that these aggressive actions must end without delay.
