Arab states condemn Israel's new aggression against Syria
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan have denounced Israel’s new act of aggression against Syria, calling on the international community to stop the regime's destabilizing actions.
The condemnations came after Israeli warplanes bombed the Syrian town of Kiswah, south of Damascus, and several parts of Dara'a Province on Tuesday, following Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for a “complete demilitarization” of the Arab country’s south.
In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry expressed its "condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation forces' bombing of several areas in the Syrian Arab Republic and attempts to undermine its security and stability through repeated violations of relevant international treaties and laws."
It also voiced solidarity with the HTS administration and Syrian people, underlining the need for the international community to assume its responsibilities "to stop Israeli actions that destabilize security and stability in the region and to prevent the expansion of the conflict."

Similarly, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli airstrikes on Syria as "a systematic escalation, a blatant violation of international law, and a disregard for the UN Charter."
The Tel Aviv regime's actions constitute "a flagrant violation of Syria's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity," it added.
The ministry further urged international actors and the UN Security Council to assume their responsibilities in compelling Israel to halt its blatant violations.
Israel, it emphasized, should pull out from "the Syrian territories it has recently occupied, in a blatant violation of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, as a step toward achieving a full withdrawal from the Syrian territories occupied in 1967, given that the Golan Heights is occupied Syrian land."
Meanwhile, Jordan’s King Abdullah II told Syria's new ruler Abu Mohammed al-Jolani after a meeting in Amman that he condemns the Israeli attacks on Syria, according to a palace statement.
Shortly after an offensive by foreign-backed militants, led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), toppled the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, Israeli forces entered the UN buffer zone between the occupied territories and Syria.
Israeli forces have remained there ever since, despite protests by Syria’s ruling HTS administration and the UN.
Israeli warplanes have also carried out hundreds of aerial assaults on Syria in the weeks after the fall of the Assad government.
