Amman, August 18 (Petra) - US Special Presidential Envoy for Syria and Iraq Tom Barrack condemned recent Israeli airstrikes on the Abu al-Duhur military airbase in Idlib, Syria, on Tuesday.
"We are deeply concerned that the confirmed Israeli airstrikes on Abu al-Duhur Airbase constitute an unnecessary escalation that does not advance regional stability," Barrack posted on X.
Barack added that the Syrian government showed interest in de-escalation rather than hostility. He added that the US will continue hosting talks to encourage dialogue over military actions.
