The US is establishing a coordination mechanism to prevent future conflicts between Israel, Syria, and Turkey following an Israeli airstrike on Syria's Abu al-Duhur airport near the Turkish border. US envoy to Syria and ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrett, told Reuters that the mechanism aims to avoid communication failures and that Turkey was not warned in advance of the Israeli strike. Concurrently, US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Herzog, confirmed in an interview with Saudi channel Al-Arabiya the plan to create this mechanism to prevent further escalations among the three countries.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed the strike, stating that although Israel and Syria had agreed to maintain a security status quo, Syria violated it by allowing Turkish forces to deploy at the targeted airbase. Israel repeatedly warned Syria that such deployments threatened its security, but Syria ignored these warnings. The statement emphasized that Israel will not tolerate threats to its security and welcomes a return to the previous status quo.
This US-led initiative reflects heightened tensions in the region and aims to reduce the risk of unintended military confrontations between the involved parties. The coordination mechanism is expected to facilitate communication and de-escalation efforts moving forward.
