Syria: Backed by US, West, Israel seeks to expand military assaults against Palestinians
Syria’s Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ministry slams Israel’s “meaningless” claims about avoiding the policy of expanding military operations and its intention to stop genocide against the people of Palestine.
In a statement on Saturday, the ministry denounced Israel’s “dangerous” escalation of genocide against Palestinians in the West Bank and al-Quds over the past few days and the support of the United States and other Western countries for the regime to continue its criminal acts.
“Syria affirms that the escalation of the Zionist entity’s massacres in the West Bank proves its intentions to liquidate the Palestinians, whether in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, in fulfillment of its false historical illusions,” the ministry said.
It added that the US and Western policies in support of Israel are not directed only against the Palestinian people but are followed in any part of the world where Western leaders are not satisfied with.
The statement emphasized that Syria denounces these Western policies and the attacks and genocidal crimes carried out by the “racist” Israeli regime with US support.
It stressed the importance of putting an immediate end to Israel’s criminal acts as they “constitute a clear introduction to the new world that Western countries are seeking to create.”
The ministry also calls on those countries across the world that believe in the sovereignty and legitimate rights of states to stand against such policies which pose a threat to all parts of the world at the political, legal and economic levels.
After months of raids that have unfolded alongside the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, Israel pressed on with a large-scale military operation in the occupied West Bank against Palestinians.
On the fourth day of Israel’s assault on the West Bank, the city of Jenin was “cut off from the world” on Saturday as the regime’s troops blocked access to aid for Palestinians and continued their deadly raids on the occupied territory.
The regime's forces have killed at least 20 Palestinians, including a person with disabilities and several children, in the northern West Bank since the regime launched its deadly raid on several cities in the northern West Bank, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
Israel has once again come under intense international pressure to halt its deadly raids on the occupied West Bank, with the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) warning that the regime's latest hostilities risked further enflaming an “already explosive situation,” in the occupied territory.
