(Times of Israel) – Israel should stop its “arbitrary” strikes in Syrian territory, which are against the region’s interests and could spark new chaos, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Wednesday. The comments by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova came days after a flare-up between Israel and Iran on the Syrian frontier. “We have not changed our position on this issue, which is based on the principles of international law,” Zakharova said at a press briefing.
“The practice of arbitrarily launching strikes on the territory of a sovereign state, in this case Syria, should be simply excluded.” She warned that such strikes encourage an “atmosphere of hostility in the region” and “do not serve the long-term national interests of any of the Middle Eastern states, including, of course, Israel… We urge everyone to think about the possible consequences of provoking a new round of chaos in the Middle East.” READ MORE
