The Arab League (AL) has expressed deep concern over the escalating security crisis in Syria, condemning violence, uncontrolled killings, and external interventions that fuel instability.

In a statement on Saturday, the AL Secretary General denounced attacks on government security forces and acts of violence that threaten civil peace. The General Secretariat emphasized the need for policies that promote stability and counter any attempts to destabilize Syria and hinder its recovery.

“We are closely monitoring the security situation in Syria’s coastal region and the recent confrontations there,” the statement added.

Similarly, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry voiced concern over the security crisis in Syria, urging all parties to protect civilians and exercise restraint. Iraq reiterated its rejection of attacks on innocent civilians and warned that continued violence would deepen instability in the region. The ministry called for dialogue rather than military escalation to resolve conflicts.

Meanwhile, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry reaffirmed support for Syria’s national institutions and stability, rejecting any actions that threaten the security and well-being of the Syrian people.

The latest violence in Syria’s coastal Latakia Governorate has resulted in at least 237 deaths, including military personnel, resistance fighters, and civilians, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The conflict marks the deadliest escalation in Syria since the fall of the previous government in December.
