Oman issues statement on American attacks on Iraq, Syria

Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman does not see the benefit of American retaliatory attacks on sites in Iraq and Syria, the Foreign Minister said.

His Excellency Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi stressed that the Sultanate of Oman is following with great concern the continuing escalation in the region without a solution to the result of the unjust Israeli war in the Gaza Strip and the fall of tens of thousands of innocent civilians, including martyrs and wounded, including children, youth and women.

His Excellency the Minister of Foreign said that the vision of the Sultanate of Oman is that the only solution to the conflict lies in addressing its causes and motives, starting with the recognition of the independent Palestinian state and the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from all the occupied Palestinian territories.

His Excellency clarified that the Sultanate of Oman does not see the benefit of the retaliatory military attacks launched by the United States on sites in Iraq and Syria. Launching such military attacks on sites in the region would threaten its safety and stability. It would complicate efforts to find solutions to the challenges facing the region, including issues of violence and extremism.
