Authorities working to end Sweida clashes alongside political efforts, says Syrian presidency
According to the presidency, the recent "unfortunate events in the south" were triggered by "armed groups acting outside the law" that have used weapons to impose a new reality on the ground.
Rejecting any logic of revenge, the presidency stressed that its position is rooted in safeguarding civil peace. "We do not respond to chaos with chaos, but protect the law with the law and respond to violations with justice," the statement said.
Reaffirming national unity, the presidency stated that Syria is a state for all its citizens, including both Druze and Bedouin communities.
The Syrian presidency called on all parties involved to exercise restraint and prioritize reason, noting that efforts are underway to stop the fighting and contain the violations.
