    Saudi Arabia has condemned Israel’s seizure of a buffer zone in Syrian territory as an effort to sabotage Syria’s chance of restoring
    stability, amid Tel Aviv’s exploitation of its neighbour’s evolving
    situation.

    Following the collapse of former President Bashar Al-Assad’s regime
    and the Syrian opposition’s take-over of much of the country, Israeli
    forces moved further into Syrian territory from the occupied Golan
    Heights, seizing the area that had served as a buffer zone for
    decades.

    Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced that the
    decision was made due to apparent fears that the changing situation in
    Syria after Assad’s fall may pose security threats to Tel Aviv,
    claiming that the move was “temporary” until the situation became
    clearer and justifying it by saying the 1974 disengagement agreement
    between Syria and Israel was no longer valid.

    Since the initial move, reports have emerged that Israeli occupation
    forces have advanced even further beyond the buffer zone, reaching
    within just dozens of kilometres from the capital, Damascus.

    In a statement on Monday, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry then
    criticised the escalation, stressing that the occupation forces’ act
    “affirmed Israel’s continued violations of international law and its
    commitment to sabotaging chances for Syria to reclaim its security,
    stability and its territorial integrity”.

    Riyadh called on the international community to condemn the Israeli
    move and urged respect for Syria’s sovereignty, reiterating that “the
    Golan is occupied Syrian land”.

    The Australian news services do include the Israeli claim that their
    interest is in destroying Bashar Al-Assad's stocks of weapons including
    the chemical weapons.

    He might even be telling the truth of once.

    It's not as if Syrian's chemical weapons conformed to international law.

    move and urged respect for Syria’s sovereignty, reiterating that “the Golan is occupied Syrian land”.

    Which Syria used to bombard Israeli communities.

    Getting rid of Bashar Al-Assad is probably a step towards stability. His
    family had been in control of Syria for fifty years, but the only stable component in their rule was their persistence. There's no guarantee that
    their replacement will be any better, but it's hard to imagine how they
    could be worse.
