Ambassador Tom Barrack says the US is “deeply concerned” about Israeli air strikes on Syria’s Abu al-Duhur Airbase.
The strikes “constitute an unnecessary escalation that does not advance regional stability”, Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkiye and special presidential envoy for Syria and Iraq, said in a post on social media.
– “The Al-Sharra government has neither adopted a predatory posture nor maintained proxy forces. It has, in fact, repeatedly indicated a preference for de-escalation with Israel.”
– The US maintains that “restraint and engagement offer the more constructive course,” said Barrack, calling on “all parties to prioritize logical discourse over further military incidents”.
