Saudi crown prince welcomes measures announced by Al-Sharaa to contain clashes

RIYADH: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received a phone call from Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa on Thursday, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The crown prince welcomed the arrangements and measures announced by Al-Sharaa to contain recent events in Syria, expressing the Kingdom's confidence in the ability of the Syrian government to achieve security and stability in the country. Prince Mohammed also praised efforts exerted by Al-Sharaa to ensure that Syria continues on the right path, which would in turn ensure the preservation of Syria's unity and territorial integrity, the strengthening of its national unity, the solidarity and cohesion of all segments of the Syrian people, and the prevention of any signs of sedition aimed at destabilizing security and stability in the country. The crown prince also stressed the importance of continuing steps that Syria has taken at all levels to achieve the progress and prosperity to which the Syrian people aspire. He reiterated the Kingdom's firm position in supporting Syria, standing by its side, and rejecting any action that would undermine civil and social peace in its entirety. Prince Mohammed reiterated the Kingdom's declared position condemning Israeli attacks on Syrian territory and interference in its internal affairs. He also stressed the need for the international community to support the Syrian government in confronting these challenges and preventing any foreign interference in Syria's internal affairs under any pretext. Al-Sharaa expressed his gratitude to the Kingdom for its supportive stance toward Syria and the role and efforts undertaken by the crown prince to promote security and stability in Syria and the region.

The commander said the truce only applied to government forces and not to them, and said the Bedouin fighters were seeking to free Bedouins who had been detained by Druze armed groups in recent days.
