Amman, Aug. 18 (Petra) — The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate
Affairs on Tuesday condemned Israeli airstrikes on the Abu al-Duhur
military airport in Syria’s Idlib province, as an unjustified
aggression and a flagrant violation of Syrian sovereignty,
territorial integrity and international law.

In a statement, the ministry spokesman Fuad Majali said the strikes
violate the United Nations Charter and mark a dangerous escalation
that will only deepen conflict and tension in the region. He called
for ending all repeated Israeli attacks and measures targeting
Syria’s security and stability.

Majali urged the international community to assume its legal and
moral responsibilities by compelling Israel to halt illegitimate,
provocative attacks on Syria and end its occupation of Syrian
territory.

He said Israel must abide by international law, U.N. resolutions, and
the principle of noninterference in the affairs of sovereign states.

On its stance, he reiterated Jordan’s “steadfast” support for Syria’s
reconstruction on a foundation that preserves its unity, sovereignty,
security, stability, territorial integrity and the rights of all
Syrians.
