Qatar PM demands Israel 'immediately withdraw' from Syria buffer zone

Qatar demands Israel "immediately withdraw" from its buffer zone with Syria, the Qatari prime minister said on Thursday during a visit to Damascus, after Israeli troops had entered the area following Bashar al-Assad's fall.

"The Israeli occupation's seizure of the buffer zone is a reckless... act and it must immediately withdraw," Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani said at a press conference with Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa.
