The countries described the attacks as a clear violation of Syria\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The joint statement was issued by the foreign ministers of&nbsp;<strong>Pakistan, T\u00fcrkiye, Algeria, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mauritania, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Somalia<\/strong>, according to Pakistan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 12 countries expressed serious concern over what they described as the continued targeting of Syrian territory and infrastructure. They warned that repeated attacks could further complicate efforts to restore security and stability in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement emphasized that Syria has already suffered from years of conflict, which has caused extensive destruction and created major humanitarian challenges. Continued attacks on the country&#8217;s territory and infrastructure, the countries said, could make recovery and reconstruction even more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foreign ministers also warned that military strikes could undermine efforts to rebuild Syria&#8217;s national institutions. They stressed that restoring security and strengthening state institutions require stability and respect for Syria&#8217;s sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The countries further expressed concern about the humanitarian consequences of prolonged instability. Years of conflict have placed significant pressure on civilians and damaged essential infrastructure, making reconstruction a major challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the joint statement, continued attacks could hinder efforts to address the humanitarian impact of the conflict and create the conditions necessary for long-term recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coordinated condemnation brings together governments from South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia. Their joint position reflects a shared concern about the impact of Israeli military operations on Syria and the broader consequences for regional stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan&#8217;s participation in the statement is consistent with its longstanding position that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states should be respected. Islamabad has repeatedly called for diplomatic solutions to regional conflicts and opposed actions that could contribute to further escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The participating countries have emphasized that Syria&#8217;s territory and infrastructure should not continue to be subjected to attacks. They argue that protecting the country&#8217;s territorial integrity is essential for rebuilding national institutions and restoring stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement also highlights the connection between security and reconstruction. Continued military activity can damage infrastructure, increase humanitarian needs and make it harder for governments and international organizations to undertake reconstruction efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The countries therefore warned that the consequences of continued attacks could extend beyond immediate military targets. They could also affect Syria&#8217;s broader efforts to recover from years of conflict and establish greater political and institutional stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The condemnation comes amid wider regional tensions and continuing concerns about military escalation in the Middle East. The 12 governments have collectively called attention to the risks posed by attacks on Syrian territory and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Pakistan and the other signatories, respect for Syria&#8217;s sovereignty, territorial integrity and political unity remains essential to achieving lasting stability. They have therefore strongly condemned the reported Israeli strikes and warned that continued attacks could undermine Syria&#8217;s security, reconstruction and efforts to address the humanitarian consequences of its prolonged conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad:&nbsp;Pakistan and 11 other countries have strongly condemned Israeli airstrikes in Syria, describing the attacks as a violation of Syria\u2019s sovereignty, territorial integrity and political..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/11111-2026-08-22T121640.015.png",800,927,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/11111-2026-08-22T121640.015-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/11111-2026-08-22T121640.015-259x300.png",259,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/11111-2026-08-22T121640.015-768x890.png",768,890,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/11111-2026-08-22T121640.015.png",800,927,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/11111-2026-08-22T121640.015.png",800,927,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/11111-2026-08-22T121640.015.png",800,927,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12101"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12103,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12101\/revisions\/12103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
