Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq condemn Israel's seizure of Syrian land near Golan Heights
Arab nations criticise Israeli actions amidst escalating strikes across Syria
Doha, Riyadh, and Baghdad have denounced Israel's recent land grab in Syria near the occupied Golan Heights, with Israeli forces advancing into the buffer zone following the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad's government.
The Qatari Foreign Ministry labelled the incursion a "dangerous development" and a violation of Syria’s sovereignty and international law. The statement added that Israel's actions could exacerbate violence and tension in the region.
Saudi Arabia echoed these sentiments, calling the move a continuation of Israel’s disregard for international rules and an impediment to Syria's recovery. Iraq similarly criticised the incursion as a "grave violation" and urged the United Nations Security Council to take decisive action.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the occupation of the buffer zone, calling the Golan Heights Israel’s territory "for eternity." The recent incursion reportedly follows intensified Israeli air strikes across Syria targeting military assets in key locations, including Damascus, Homs, and Latakia.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims Israel has conducted over 100 strikes in Syria since Sunday, aiming to dismantle military capabilities linked to the former regime. However, the UN has deemed Israel's actions a violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement.
Despite condemnation from Arab nations and the UN, Israel maintains its measures are "limited and temporary," citing security threats near the border.
