Azerbaijan Hosts First Türkiye-Israel Technical Meeting on Syria Conflict Prevention

The first technical meeting between Türkiye and Israel, focused on a conflict prevention mechanism to avoid "unwanted incidents" in Syria, took place on Wednesday in Azerbaijan, according to the Turkish National Defense Ministry.

The ministry on Thursday added that Israel must immediately end its "provocative attacks," which are threatening Syria's territorial integrity and destabilizing its security and stability, The Caspian Post reports citing Anadolu Agency.

"To ensure regional security, Israel must abandon its expansionist, occupying stance and the international community must prevent this unlawfulness," the ministry said.

The ministry also added that Israel's ongoing illegal settlement activities in the West Bank, along with its failure to stop attacks on regional countries, are undermining stability and peace in the region.
