Qatar Warns of Regional Escalation Spiral Following Israeli Strikes on Syria's Idlib Airport
Qatar has issued a stern warning regarding the current situation, condemning Israeli airstrikes on military infrastructure in northwestern Syria and cautioning against the severe consequences of this unjustified aggressive approach.
Flagrant Violation of Syrian Sovereignty
The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed via a statement on social media that the eight strikes launched early Tuesday on the Abu al-Duhur military airport runway in Idlib constitute a blatant breach of Syrian sovereignty and international law.
Syrian military sources noted that these strikes caused significant material damage to the airport's infrastructure but resulted in no human casualties, highlighting the arbitrary nature of these ongoing attacks on vital Syrian facilities.
Warning on Absence of International Deterrence
Doha emphasized that Israel's continued imposition of facts on the ground without fear of accountability reveals contempt for international legitimacy, urging the international community to act decisively to deter an occupier acting above the law.
The ministry warned that the lack of international deterrence encourages further violations, threatening to drag the region into wider confrontations, while reaffirming Qatar's steadfast support for Syria and its full backing for efforts to preserve its national sovereignty.
