Syria’s new administration condemns Israeli incursions after strike in southern Syria killed three

Associated Press  

GHADIR AL-BUSTAN, Syria — Officials in Syria’s new de facto government hardened their tone Thursday against Israel’s incursions into Syrian territory after an Israeli strike killed three people and wounded five others in the south of the country. “Israel advanced into the buffer zone under the pretext of the presence of Iranian militias, but this excuse no longer holds after Damascus was liberated,” Ahmad al-Sharaa, leader of Syria’s new administration and formerly known as Mohammad al-Jolani, said at a press conference in the Syrian capital. Sharaa, who was speaking alongside the visiting Qatari foreign minister, said Syria is ready to welcome international forces to the buffer zone, noting Qatar’s “central role” in creating international pressure on Israel to withdraw from the buffer zone. Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister, condemned Israel’s occupation of the buffer zone and said its forces “must withdraw immediately.” Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israeli troops to “take over” the buffer zone, home to several Syrian villages, on Dec. 17, would remain there until a new arrangement was established to ensure Israel’s security. Israel must respect Syria’s sovereignty just as they seek security for their own borders and homes,” Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani said in an interview broadcast Thursday with Turkish network TRT.
