Mansour Calls for 'Decisive' Arab League Stance on Israeli Airstrikes in Syria
Caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour urged the Arab League on Sunday to take a “decisive stance” from the recent Israeli airstrikes in Syria.
Mansour condemned “the assault and the silence of the international community on the repeated Israeli aggressions on more than one Arab country.”
He called on “the Arab League to take a decisive stance from this dangerous development to avoid” further escalation.
Mansour accused Israel in his statement of “preparing for a largescale invasion to blow up the region and push it to a destructive confrontation.”
Israel carried out on Sunday what an intelligence official said was an airstrike in Damascus that allegedly attacked a shipment of Iranian-made missiles bound for Hizbullah.
It was the second Israeli strike in three days.
But the Syrian state news agency SANA reported early Sunday that explosions went off at the Jamraya research center near Damascus, causing casualties.
"Initial reports point to these explosions being a result of Israeli missiles that targeted the research center in Jamraya," SANA said.
