Following the regular meeting of the Political Bureau of the Syrian Communist Party (Unified) (SCP-U) held on July 10, a comminuqué was issued assessing the Qatar crisis and other regional developments.

In the statement, the PB of the SCP(U) appreciated the success achieved by the Arab armed forces, especially the armies of the Syrian and Iraqi in converging on the joint Iraqi-Syrian border, which is expressed as "an important strategic turning point in the course of the struggle against the terrorist enemy takfiri and global imperialists". It said that "the Western colonial scheme to create a state of discord between Damascus and Baghdad is failing".
