Arab Ministerial group supports Syrian-led political transition

The Arab Ministerial Contact Group on Syria has committed to supporting a peaceful and Syrian-led political transition that represents all political and social factions. 

The group consists of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and the secretary-general of the Arab League. 

In a statement, the group said it would respect the will and choices of the Syrian people and support Syria during this "critical phase" of its history. 

It also condemned Israel's incursions into the occupied Golan Heights and areas in Mount Hermon, Quneitra and the countryside around Damascus.
