US criticizes Israeli airstrike in Syria, labels it an 'unnecessary escalation'
Tom Barrack, the US envoy for Syria, condemned Israel's recent bombing of the Abu al-Duhur Airbase. He described the move as an "unnecessary escalation that doesn't advance regional stability." Barrack noted that the Syrian government has not taken an aggressive stance or supported proxy groups, and has frequently expressed a desire to de-escalate tensions. He concluded by stating that the US is pushing for a "diplomatic cadence."
