- The two ministers held the call after Israel launched powerful airstrikes in Damascus on Wednesday
RIYADH: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan discussed Israeli attacks on Syria with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Wednesday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The two ministers held the call after Israel launched powerful airstrikes in Damascus on Wednesday, blowing up part of the defense ministry and hitting near the presidential palace.
The attacks marked a significant Israeli escalation against President Ahmed Al-Sharaa鈥檚 government and came despite his warming ties with the US and his administration鈥檚 evolving security contacts with Israel.
Scores of people have been killed this week in violence in and around the predominantly Druze city of Sweida, pitting fighters from the Druze minority against government security forces and members of Bedouin tribes.
