Syria Calls for Israel's Withdrawal From Its Lands, National Dialogue Closing Statement Says
Syria condemned on Tuesday Israel's incursion into its territories and called for Israel to withdraw, according to a the closing statement of a national dialogue summit organised by Syria's new Islamist rulers to outline the country's political roadmap. The condemnation comes amid rising tensions between the two nations following the toppling of former President Bashar al-Assad in December. The national dialogue summit aims to establish a new political system after decades of Assad rule.
- This bold move marks a significant escalation in Syria's stance against Israel, potentially setting a precedent for future conflicts and diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
- Will the international community be able to broker a peaceful resolution to this long-standing conflict, or will the situation continue to simmer on the brink of violence?
