US envoy for Syria slams Israeli airstrikes on Syrian airbase

Amman, August 18 (Petra) – US Special Presidential Envoy for Syria
and Iraq Tom Barrack condemned recent Israeli airstrikes on the Abu
al-Duhur military airbase in Idlib, Syria, on Tuesday.

“We are deeply concerned that the confirmed Israeli airstrikes on Abu
al-Duhur Airbase constitute an unnecessary escalation that does not
advance regional stability,” Barrack posted on X.

Barack added that the Syrian government showed interest in
de-escalation rather than hostility. He added that the US will
continue hosting talks to encourage dialogue over military actions.
