UAE 'condemns' Israeli strikes in Syria

The United Arab Emirates has issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s recent air strikes in Syria, calling them a violation of international law and a threat to regional stability.

In an official statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it “condemned in the strongest terms the continuous Israeli attacks on Syrian territory, reaffirming the UAE’s commitment to Syria’s unity, stability and territorial integrity.

“These attacks are in violation of Syria’s sovereignty and in contravention of international law,” the statement said, adding that the ministry has “underscored the UAE’s categorical rejection of such practices, which threaten further escalation and tension in the region, and hinder efforts to achieve peace and stability.”
