Zionist entity ‘main player’ in war on Syria, stresses al-Mouallem

DAMASCUS,(ST)_Foreign and Expatriates Minister has underscored that Gulf tools are being used by Israel to implement a foreign conspiracy hatched against the country.  

Walid al-Mouallem made it clear that the US stalls the Russia’s efforts to convene Geneva 2 conference under different pretexts because it wants violence and terrorism to continue unabated in Syria as long as that service Israel’s interests.

The minister, who was speaking in a meeting held today with Syrian reporters and political analysts, said that the attitude of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states dovetails with that of the US and directly echoed by the opposition abroad which has no clear vision about participation in the conference. 

Political calculations

Al-Mouallem added that the political calculations are in the interest of the national forces and the resistance axis as the political situation in Egypt has changed and the extremist Islamic bloc led by Turkey has received a knockout blow after the downfall of Muslim brotherhood in Egypt.

“Any political analysis for the events in Syria must take Israel’s attitude into consideration. Israel has become a main player in the events since it attacked three sites in the country and received wounded terrorists in its hospitals,” the minister said.    

 On the other hand, he stressed that Syria shares Russia in reading the stance towards investigation on the use of chemical weapons  as the two countries are certain that the weapons had been used by the armed terrorist groups.

The same conspiracy

As for what is going on in Iraq, al-Mouallem confirmed that the Iraqis spare no effort in combating terrorism on their territories and  borders as they realized that those who are conspiring against Syria are also conspiring against Iraq.

On situation in Lebanon, the minister sees that there is still a division between a bloc supporting terrorist groups and another one supporting the Syrian state.

Jordan Front

Regarding the influx of gunmen and weapons from Jordan, al-Mouallem said that Syria’s enemies are planning to open the Jordanian front to supplant Turkey, noting that the Doha Coalition’s head had entered the Syrian territories through Jordan.

“Do weapons, gunmen and opposition members cross borders without coordination with the Jordanian leadership?” the minister asked, warning that the facilitation of terrorists’ infiltration by some countries will boomerang on them.

EU attitude

Concerning the European attitude, the minister referred to a slow development saying: “there are European attempts to return to Syria through Humanitarian organizations which is not accepted by Syria.”

The minister concluded his speech by urging the national mass media to step up its efforts and  stand by the Syrian Arab army in its national duty as well as working towards boosting the national spirit.
