  "summary": "The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned Israeli air strikes on a Syrian air base in northwestern Syria, describing the attacks as a \"flagrant violation\" of international law. The UAE's foreign ministry strongly rejected the violation of Syria's sovereignty and threatened its security and stability, emphasizing that the ongoing Israeli aggression on Syrian territory breaches the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement, which Israel is obligated to respect. The ministry urged the international community to take immediate action to halt the repeated attacks on Syrian territory and prevent further escalation that could increase regional tensions and threaten international peace and security.",
