US envoy confirms Israeli strike on Syrian airbase, calls for de-escalation

The United States has confirmed Israel's airstrike on the Abu al-Duhur airbase in Syria's Idlib province, a move that has heightened regional tensions. Tom Barrack, the U.S. special envoy to Syria and ambassador to Turkey, voiced significant concern over the attack.

In a statement on X, Barrack described the confirmed Israeli airstrikes as an "unnecessary escalation" that undermines regional stability. He urged all parties involved to prioritize "rational dialogue over further military incidents." The envoy also noted that the Syrian government, led by Ahmed Al-Sharaa, has "repeatedly expressed a desire for de-escalation" with Israel.
