Egypt has urged all parties in Syria to work toward preserving the country’s state capabilities and national institutions, following the surprising ousting of President Bashar al-Assad by rebel forces.
The statement, issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday, marked the first official reaction to the developments in Syria from an Arab government.
The ministry expressed deep concern over the evolving situation in Syria, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the country’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
"Egypt is following the situation in Syria with great care," the statement read, affirming support for the Syrian people and their aspirations for stability and progress.
The unexpected ousting of Assad by rebel forces has introduced a new chapter in the long-running Syrian conflict, raising questions about the country’s political future and the regional balance of power.
Egypt’s call reflects a broader Arab interest in ensuring that Syria does not descend further into chaos or fragmentation.
As the first Arab nation to comment, Egypt’s stance underscores its commitment to playing a stabilizing role in the region.
By urging the preservation of Syria’s national institutions, Cairo highlights the critical need to avoid a power vacuum that could exacerbate instability and open the door to extremist elements.
