Turkish Foreign Minister Fidan called on Israel to immediately halt actions in Syria

Israel should immediately stop its actions in Syria. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said after talks in Jordan on Saturday, December 14.

"We will never allow terrorism to take advantage of the transition period. We must coordinate our efforts and learn from the mistakes of the past. Any mistake will lead to an illegal migration flow," Fidan told reporters after the talks in Aqaba in Jordan.

He added that in a historic time of transition, Syria's state institutions must be preserved and reformed if necessary.

"Syria's territorial integrity and unity must be protected under any circumstances," the minister emphasized.

The contour of chaos: what goals are pursued by the main players in Syria

Struggle for power, land and big money

Earlier, on December 8, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, after negotiations with the opposition, left the post of head of state and left the country, instructing to carry out the transfer of power peacefully.

On the same day, the national coalition of revolutionary and opposition forces in Syria said it was working on the formation of a transitional authority. In turn, Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi al-Jalali said that most of the ministers of the Syrian government remain in Damascus, and he himself is ready to cooperate with any elected leadership.

Against this backdrop, the IDF announced the deployment of forces along the Syrian border to ensure the safety of communities in the Golan Heights and Israeli citizens. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the demarcation agreement with Syria has been terminated due to the withdrawal of Syrian troops.

The situation in Syria escalated following a major attack by militias in Aleppo and Idlib that began on November 28 and led to a Syrian army response against the militants.
