GCC, Türkiye Condemn Israeli Attacks on Syria's Damascus, Regional Stability

Israel's recent airstrikes on Syria's Defense Ministry and presidential palace in Damascus have drawn strong condemnation from regional actors, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Turkey. The GCC labeled the attacks a blatant violation of Syria's sovereignty and a serious threat to regional security and stability, criticizing Israel's actions as irresponsible escalation. Similarly, Turkey's Foreign Ministry described the strikes as sabotage against Syria's recovery and peace efforts after years of civil war, emphasizing that the Syrian people have a historic opportunity for peace and integration with the international community. Turkish officials stressed that all stakeholders should support Syria's efforts to establish calm and stability, with Turkey reiterating its support for Syria's territorial integrity. The attacks are viewed in Damascus as part of a broader campaign to destabilize the country amid ongoing Israeli military operations throughout the region. Syrian officials have called on the United Nations and the international community to condemn the Israeli aggression.
