Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Friday the Israeli airstrike that targeted the vicinity of the presidential palace in Damascus.

“The Kingdom reiterated its firm rejection of the Israeli attacks that violate Syria’s sovereignty, security, and stability,” said a Foreign Ministry statement.

It stressed the “urgent need to put an end to Israel’s blatant violations of international law in Syria and the region, warning that the continuation of these violations and Israel’s extremist policies heighten the risks of violence, extremism, and regional instability.”
