Gaza provided a model that brought back the awakening of generations that began to see reality from a different perspective than the one from which the West had worked for many centuries, the president pointed out in a speech to the country’s new Parliament.

The head of State believed that months of heroism and steadfastness overturned and shattered the illusion of decades built in the minds of successive generations about Israel’s invincibility.

Al-Assad noted that the Palestinians’ perseverance, faith, and will shattered the confidence of the Israeli entity in the future of its existence.

He also welcomed the resistance fighters in occupied Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, and described them as “a model to follow on the way toward liberation, dignity, honor, and independence.”

The president acknowledged that Syria is an essential stage of the international conflict and was seen with the alternative of being affected only or influencing the course of events to the minimum and achieving a balance in Syria and the world.

The president added that the Syrians in Syria’s Golan, occupied by Israel since 1967, have proved that the absence of sovereignty over their land does not mean the disappearance of patriotism, but rather its rise and the occupation of their territory does not mean the renunciation of honor and dignity.
