Gulf States, Lebanon, Egypt, and Turkey Reject All Foreign Interference in Syria
The foreign ministers of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, along with Lebanon, Egypt, and Turkey, issued a joint statement rejecting all forms of foreign interference in Syria’s internal affairs.
The declaration followed a ministerial meeting held in Doha aimed at addressing the escalating crisis in Syria and reaffirming regional support for a Syrian-led political solution.
The statement emphasized the importance of preserving Syria’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, and called for an immediate halt to military operations that threaten civilian lives and prolong the conflict. The ministers reiterated their commitment to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2254 as the foundation for a comprehensive peace process.
The joint communiqué also warned that continued external meddling risks plunging Syria into further chaos and undermines efforts to restore stability and facilitate the voluntary return of refugees and displaced persons. The signatories urged all parties to support a political resolution that protects civilians and strengthens Syria’s institutions.
This coordinated position reflects growing regional consensus on the need to shield Syria from proxy conflicts and foreign agendas, while promoting dialogue and humanitarian relief.
