Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Faisal al-Miqdad, has criticised the UN Security Council over its inaction in maintaining international peace and security, saying that its failure is “encouraging the Israeli regime to continue its aggression and crimes against the Palestinians.”
Miqdad, in a message addressed to the UN General Assembly read out by Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Bassam Sabbagh, said “the new Israeli war on the besieged Gaza Strip and its repeated assaults across the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem al-Quds, are in line with the regime’s continuous acts of aggression in the region, including against Syria and Lebanon, and its support for terrorist groups.”
