New York, SANA- Syria reaffirmed its firm stance in support of the Palestinian people and their rights to self-determination, return to their homeland and to establish their independent state on all of their occupied territories, with Jerusalem as its capital, expressing its deep dissatisfaction with the inability of the United Nations to stop the Israeli aggression on the Arab country.
“Commemorating the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People this year is of great importance because it coincides with the continuation of the unprecedented barbaric Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people in Gaza Strip,” Foreign and Expatriates Minister Bassam Sabbagh said in a message addressed to the Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP), Ambassador Cheikh Niang.
Sabbagh indicated that international organizations working in the Strip have recorded that the occupation army is following a policy of systematized destruction of hospitals, schools, universities, places of worship and residential buildings, refugee camps and basic infrastructure with the aim of making Gaza an unlivable place and displacing Palestinians from it.
“Syria expresses its deep dissatisfaction with the inability of the United Nations, with all its agencies, to stop this barbaric aggression on the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank and to hold its perpetrators accountable, as a result of the disgraceful stance of some Western countries, led by the United States, which supports the Israeli aggression,” Sabbagh added.
He reiterated that Syria condemns in the strongest terms the barbaric Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people, and the brotherly Lebanon, and its repeated attacks on Syrian lands.
