Amman, August 22 (Petra) – The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs condemned on Saturday an Israeli drone attack on a vehicle in the village of Beit Jinn in the western Damascus countryside, which injured several civilians.
The Ministry called the attack "a blatant violation of the sovereignty, security, and stability of the sisterly Syrian Arab Republic, and a flagrant breach of international law and the UN Charter." The Ministry's official spokesperson, Fouad Majali, called for a halt to all recurrent Israeli attacks and actions targeting Syria's security and stability.
Such violations contravene Israel's obligations under the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, and represent a dangerous and provocative escalation that will only fuel conflict and tension in the region, he warned.
Majali called on the international community to uphold its legal and moral responsibility to compel Israel to cease the provocative and illegal attacks on Syria, end its occupation of parts of Syrian territory, and adhere to international law, UN resolutions, and the sovereignty of states, and refrain from interfering in their internal affairs.
He also reiterated Jordan's unwavering support for Syria in its reconstruction efforts, based on principles that guarantee its unity, sovereignty, security, stability, territorial integrity, and the safety of its citizens, while safeguarding the rights of all Syrians.
