Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi strongly condemned on Friday the Israeli airstrike near the presidential palace in Damascus.

He stated that this act by the Israeli occupation forces is a grave violation that undermines security and stability in the region and reflects a pattern of escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Albudaiwi underlined the GCC's complete rejection and condemnation of all Israeli violations that threaten the sovereignty, stability, and security of Syria and its people.

He stressed the importance of respecting Syria's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, rejecting any external interference in its internal affairs.

The security and stability of Syria are crucial for regional and international peace, he added.
