The Syrian interim government office also called on Arab countries to adopt a unified position in support of the country and to declare their full support for Damascus in confronting these attacks, in order to guarantee the rights of Arab nations in confronting Israel’s hostile actions.
The statement was issued after the Israeli regime targeted a building 400 meters from the Syrian presidential palace in Damascus on Friday morning.
Friday, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, referring to the regime’s airstrike around the presidential palace in Damascus as a “warning message,” threatened that any attack on the Druze in Syria would be met with a decisive response from Tel Aviv.
Katz added: When (Abu Muhammad) Golani (the head of the Syrian interim government) wakes up and sees the results of the Israeli air force operation, he will understand very well that Israel is absolutely serious in its decision to prevent any harm to the Druze in Syria.
In a clear stance, he spoke of the Zionist regime’s will to continue taking preemptive measures against what he called the “threat against the Druze minority,” and emphasized that these attacks are part of Tel Aviv’s deterrence strategy against developments on the ground in Syria.
In an attempt to justify the attacks on Syria, the Israeli Minister of War claimed: Our determination to prevent harm to the Druze in Syria is unwavering.
