Doha: Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi stressed the need to uphold the ceasefire in Syria’s southern Sweida province, in a phone call on Tuesday with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan. He emphasized that preserving the ceasefire is essential to ensuring state sovereignty, the rule of law, and the safety and security of citizens.

According to Qatar News Agency, during the call, both ministers firmly rejected and condemned Israel’s interference in Syrian affairs, describing it as a blatant violation of international law and Syrian sovereignty, and an act of aggression aimed at destabilizing the country and endangering its people.

The two sides also discussed the outcomes of last Saturday’s meeting in Amman between the Jordanian and Syrian foreign ministers, as well as their talks with the US Special Envoy for Syria and Ambassador to Turkiye, Tom Barrack. The discussions resulted in an agreement on concrete steps to support Syria in implementing the ceasefire, safeguarding its stability and citizens, and reinforcing the state’s sovereignty and rule of law across all its territory.
