Syria on Tuesday denounced the Israeli incursion into its territory and called on Israel to withdraw.

This came in the final statement of the National Dialogue Summit called for by the new administration in Syria to develop a political roadmap for Syria.

The statement condemned "the Israeli incursion into Syrian territory, considering it a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian state and demanding its immediate and unconditional withdrawal." It rejected the provocative statements of the Israeli Prime Minister, and called on the international community and regional organizations to assume their responsibilities towards the Syrian people and pressure to stop the aggression and violations.

Israel moved its forces into a UN-monitored demilitarized zone inside Syria after the armed opposition led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ousted former President Bashar al-Assad in December.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel would not allow the presence of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in southern Syria, nor any other forces affiliated with the country's new rulers, and demanded that the area be demilitarized.

The closing statement of the Syrian National Dialogue Conference also considered armed formations to be “outlaw groups.” In the statement, read by preparatory committee member Huda al-Atassi, the attendees called for “restricting weapons to the state, building a professional national army, and considering any armed formations outside official institutions as outlaw groups,” in an implicit reference to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and factions and groups that still have their weapons after the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad.

Criticism from the Kurdish administration of North and East Syria

For its part, the Kurdish Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria said that the National Dialogue Conference does not represent the Syrian people, and called for holding a “real national dialogue that does not exclude or marginalize anyone.”

The Kurdish administration, which controls northern and eastern Syria, added in a statement: “We have reservations about the Syrian National Dialogue Conference in form and content, and we will not be part of implementing its outcomes.”

The statement said that the preparatory committee for the National Dialogue Conference "did not represent the components of the Syrian people," adding that the committee's statements "are far from the language of dialogue and bringing viewpoints closer together."

She said that the steps taken by the caretaker administration in Syria regarding the issue of dialogue and partnership are “disappointing.”

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa stressed before the conference that his country “does not accept division,” stressing the need not to “import” systems that are not compatible with the country’s situation.

Media outlets quoted the spokesman for the conference's preparatory committee, Hassan Al-Daghim, as saying that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were not invited "because the dialogue is societal and not with military organizations."

The Syrian Democratic Forces, affiliated with the autonomous administration, have been fighting fierce battles against armed factions supported by Turkey in northern and eastern Syria since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime last December, resulting in dozens of deaths on both sides.
