Turkish FM: Israel aims to destabilize Syria
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan accused Israel of trying to destabilize Syria through these strikes, pointing out that Israel poses the greatest obstacle to peace in the region. Fidan affirmed that Israel's goal in bombing the Abu al-Zuhur base is to prevent the new Syrian authorities from gaining control over the former army's arsenal, following ongoing Israeli military escalations since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime in December 2024. These escalations have targeted military objectives in Syria and involved cross-border incursions outside the Golan Heights. Despite the escalation, Syrian Foreign Minister Asad al-Shibani reaffirmed Damascus's commitment to a political solution and its adherence to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement. He also highlighted the continued close relations between Syria and Turkey, which seeks to develop cooperation in economic and energy sectors. Meanwhile, Fidan announced an upcoming visit by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to Syria.
