Turkey Calls on Israel to End Invasion and De-escalate Tensions in Syria
Türkiye’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Ahmet Yıldız, addressed the UN Security Council regarding the ongoing crisis in Syria. He strongly urged Israel to fully comply with the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement, cease its military invasion, and avoid any new actions that could escalate regional tensions. Yıldız highlighted Israel's destabilizing activities over the past 1.5 years as a primary threat to regional stability, while acknowledging Syrian authorities' adherence to the agreement. Beyond the immediate conflict, the Ambassador emphasized the importance of integrating northeastern Syria into a unified state structure, rejecting dual administrative or military systems. He argued that a stable, united Syria is crucial for regional connectivity, particularly in energy and transportation, serving as a bridge between the Middle East, Turkey, and Europe. Furthermore, Yıldız reaffirmed Türkiye’s commitment to supporting UN humanitarian efforts in coordination with Syrian authorities and stressed the necessity of prosecuting individuals responsible for human rights violations under the former Assad regime to ensure justice and facilitate political transition.
