Damascus: America is directly involved in the occupation’s crimes against Gaza

Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal al-Miqdad, in a statement during the meeting of the Arab League Council at the ministerial level in Cairo, pointed to the crimes of the occupiers against the Palestinian people and announced that the unlimited support of the United States to the occupiers Zionist and defeating all efforts of the Security Council to stop the continuous aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, once again proves Washington’s direct participation in the destructive war against Gaza.

Faisal al-Maqdad added: It is very unfortunate that the blood of hundreds of innocent people is shed in Gaza every day, but the conscience of the countries that support the occupation regime and those who are complicit with this regime in its genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people is not awakened. It is unfortunate that the genocidal war of the occupiers against Gaza has continued for more than five months and the arrogance of the occupying regime continues in its crimes and flagrant violations of international laws.

He further emphasized that it is a shame to see how the international community deals with Israel’s brutal aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip. The number of victims of the Zionist regime’s crimes in Gaza is beyond imagination, while the international community treats the people of Gaza like numbers. Neither the number of days of aggression by the occupiers, nor the number of Palestinian martyrs and injured in these heinous crimes, nor the number of bombs that the occupying regime uses to massacre the people of Gaza, will not awaken the conscience of the countries that support the Zionists, especially the United States.

The Syrian Foreign Minister continued by condemning the actions of the United States in preventing the cessation of the Gaza war and the repeated veto of the Gaza ceasefire resolutions in the Security Council, referring to the heinous crime of the occupiers in Gaza’s al-Rashid Street in the killing of more than a hundred Palestinians who were waiting to receive food aid. And he emphasized that all these cases are a clear proof of the direct participation of the United States in crimes against the Palestinian people. The US also continues to cover up the crimes of the occupiers and violations of international law by this regime, and in addition, Israel’s western allies show no respect for the lives of Palestinians who are massacred every day.

Al-Miqdad further said that we cannot describe America’s policies as double standards, but America has only one standard, which is absolute support for the occupying regime and giving this regime full authority to target civilians and innocents. The madness and aggression and crimes of the Zionist regime against innocent people are not only limited to the Gaza Strip; Rather, the occupiers target the West Bank and the lands of Syria and Lebanon every day, and neither civilians nor civilian infrastructure are ever safe from Zionist aggression.

This Syrian official emphasized that the occupying and criminal regime of Israel is seeking to flee forward through the escalation of tensions in the region and poses a real threat to international peace and security. The continuous aggression of the occupiers to the Gaza Strip and the positions of the United States and the West regarding these aggressions and the inability of the international community to curb it, require today more than ever to call for the implementation of the rules of international law and the principles contained in the United Nations Charter, especially regarding Respecting the sovereignty of governments and non-interference in their internal affairs, establishing international relations based on the principle of equality between governments and the commitment of peaceful cooperation between them should be issued.
