Crimes, aggressive and repressive actions for decades with full support of the United States and the West are major causes of current violence situation, said the Syrian Foreign Minister at a press briefing with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir Abdollahian.

Al-Mekdad explained that since the beginning of 2023, even before present escalation in north Gaza, Israeli forces killed hundreds of Palestinians, most of them children and women, and destroyed their homes.

There is no people in the world who have suffered and endured more than the Palestinian people. So what do they expect from this people?, Al-Mekdad asked.

Al-Mekdad stated that ahead of the Palestinians’ struggle for their historical and inalienable rights recognized by all the peoples of the world, the United States and European countries send their fleets and provide mass destruction weapons to Israel to kill Palestinian children.

According to Al-Mekdad, international humanitarian law received a heavy blow and the greatest insult with the current incessant aggression against the Gaza Strip.

We repeat it loudly: we will always support the Palestinian people and their struggle for establishing a Palestinian state recognized by the international community, the minister added.
