President Ahmad al-Sharaa hails 'effective intervention of American, Arab, and Turkish mediation, which saved the region from unknown fate'
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Thursday that Israel's plans to undermine the region's stability were thwarted by intervention by outside mediators and the state's own efforts.
In a televised speech, Sharaa said that despite Israeli interventions targeting civilian and public institutions, “state efforts to restore stability and expel outlaw factions have succeeded.”
This would not have happened “without the effective intervention of American, Arab, and Turkish mediation, which saved the region from an unknown fate,” he added.
Israel's army on Wednesday launched airstrikes on the capital Damascus as well as Suwayda and Daraa on the pretext of protecting the Druze community.
The Interior Ministry said the attacks killed more than 30 people and injured nearly 100.
