Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday condemned Israel’s recent airstrikes on Syria’s capital Damascus and the southern province of Suwayda, warning that the escalation threatens regional stability and must be met with international pressure, APA reports quoting Daily Sabah.
Speaking to reporters in New York during the informal “Expanded Format Meeting on Cyprus,” Fidan said Israel's actions have led to significant civilian casualties and accused Tel Aviv of pursuing a long-standing destabilization policy in the region without regard for international norms, sovereignty, or human life.
“Israel must abandon its destabilizing policies before it’s too late — this is not only dangerous for the region but for Israel itself,” Fidan said. “The United States, the European Union, and regional countries must all tell Israel to stop. Otherwise, it is likely that undesirable consequences will emerge in the region.”
Fidan also warned against reports of movement by the YPG in the region amid the ongoing conflict. “Our message to them is clear: do not exploit the chaos. Playing opportunistic games in such a sensitive period will only bring greater risk. Instead, they must adopt a constructive role,” he said.
