The UAE has issued its strongest condemnation yet of Israeli military operations in the Syrian provinces of Quneitra and Daraa, where Israeli forces have carried out ground incursions and artillery strikes.

The foreign ministry said in a statement that the continued Israeli push into Syrian territory represents a clear breach of international law and of the disengagement agreement signed between Syria and Israel in 1974, which Abu Dhabi said Israel is bound to honour.

The ministry reaffirmed the UAE’s standing position in support of Syria’s stability and sovereignty over its full territory, alongside the Syrian people’s right to security, peace, and development.

The statement also called on the international community to act immediately to halt what it described as repeated attacks on Syrian soil, and to prevent any further escalation that could threaten regional and international security.
