SANA’A (Dispatches) – The deputy foreign minister of the Sana’a-based Yemeni government, Hussein al-Ezzi, has said that the recent developments in the region will have shocking consequences for the West.
In a post on his X account on Tuesday, al-Ezzi highlighted that many significant developments and events are emerging, particularly in the Arab world and globally.
He continued, “These developments and events will bring numerous challenges and issues, the consequences of which could be shocking and disappointing for the future of the West in both the region and the world, especially if the United States does not amend its hostile and aggressive stance towards nations.”
Two days prior, he had declared, “What is happening in Syria directly serves the interests of Zionism.”
Early on Sunday, the government of Bashar al-Assad fell after armed groups led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took control of the capital Damascus, the seat of Assad’s government. 
It came less than two weeks after the groups began their attacks across Syria and soon advanced toward Damascus.
Officials and diplomats from various countries have also reacted to the developments. 
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry has reiterated its commitment to engaging with all parties in Syria to shape the country’s future.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, spokesperson Majed al-Ansari emphasized that “all doors and channels of communication” are open, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts to achieve progress.
Al-Ansari described the situation as “historic days for the region,” and that it was a “ray of hope” for the Syrian people to fulfill their aspirations amid ongoing challenges.
He criticized the Zionist regime’s actions in Syria, stating it was unacceptable for Tel Aviv to “exploit” the current circumstances and violate that nation’s sovereignty.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II also called Tuesday for coordinated international efforts to safeguard Syria’s security following the fall of the Bashar al-Assad government.
This came during phone calls the monarch received from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Council President António Costa to discuss regional developments, particularly the situation in Syria.
King Abdullah emphasized the need for unified international efforts to ensure stability in Syria and protect its citizens during the country’s transitional period, the royal court said in a statement.
