Jordan Hosts Syrian-Israeli Meeting to Discuss De-escalation

Amman, Aug. 24 (Petra) — Jordan hosted on Sunday a meeting between
Syrian and Israeli officials at the request of Syria to discuss
reducing tensions and supporting de-escalation, a Jordanian official
source said on Monday.

The meeting followed Israeli strikes on Syrian territory last week
that targeted the Abu Al-Duhur military airport in Idlib Governorate,
amid heightened tensions in southern Syria.

The source reaffirmed Jordan’s condemnation of the Israeli attacks on
Syria, describing them as a clear violation of international law and
a serious escalation. Jordan also reiterated its full support for the
Syrian government in its efforts to safeguard the country’s security,
stability and sovereignty and preserve its territorial integrity.

The source stressed the need for an immediate end to the Israeli
attacks on Syria, Israel’s withdrawal from occupied Syrian territory,
and respect for the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement.
