of Mauritania, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the State of
Palestine, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the
Federal Republic of Somalia, and the Republic of Türkiye strongly
condemned Israeli airstrikes targeting the Abu Al-Duhur military

dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of the sovereignty,
security, stability and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab
Republic.

Syrian territory and infrastructure, warning that such actions
directly threaten Syria’s efforts to restore security, rebuild
national institutions and address the humanitarian consequences of
years of protracted conflict.

respect for international law and the principles of the United
Nations Charter.

The ministers called on the international community to adopt a firm,
clear and principled position in response to the ongoing aggression
against Syria and to take concrete measures, in accordance with
international law and the UN Charter, to halt these violations.

They further called for full respect for the 1974 Disengagement of
Forces Agreement and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the areas
they have occupied, in order to prevent further escalation and
safeguard regional peace and stability.

The ministers stressed the need to respect Syria’s sovereignty,
security, stability and territorial integrity, reaffirming their
rejection of any attempt to undermine them.
