Germany urges Israel, Turkey not to jeopardise Syria transition

Germany's foreign minister on Wednesday urged Israel and Turkey not to jeopardise a peaceful transition in Syria after the ousting of president Bashar al-Assad in an Islamist-led rebel offensive.

"We must not allow the internal Syrian dialogue process to be torpedoed from the outside," Annalena Baerbock told a Berlin press conference. 

"Neighbours such as the Turkish and Israeli governments, which are asserting their security interests, must not jeopardise the process."
