Qatar condemns Israel’s ‘illegal entry’ into Syrian territory
Qatar has denounced the entry into Syrian territory by Israeli leaders, calling it a “blatant breach of international law” and a “serious threat to regional security”.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry called it a “flagrant violation” and demanded the international community take urgent action to “compel the Israeli occupation to comply with international legitimacy resolutions” – namely the 1974 agreement to halt its “repeated aggression against Syrian territory”.
Doha said its solidarity is with the Syrian people in achieving their “security, stability and prosperity”.
The condemnation comes as Israel maintains a military presence in southern Syria and occupied areas that were formerly UN buffer zones. Israeli forces continue to launch air strikes, incursions and carry out abductions of Syrians.

Israeli troops deploy into Syria’s western Daraa region
Israeli forces advanced into the village of Jamlah in the western countryside of Daraa in southern Syria, before retreating towards the occupied territories in the Golan, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports.
The latest incursion comes a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli soldiers occupying southern Syria – a visit condemned by the Syrian government as “provocative and a blatant violation” of its sovereignty.
Israeli troops have been stationed in southern Syrian in what the army describes as a “security zone” since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in 2024. Since then, Israeli forces have continued movements in the broader areas of the western Daraa countryside.
