Al-Dahhak: Granting Palestine full UN membership represents recognition of the Palestinian people’s ligitimate rights

Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Qusay Al-Dahhak said that the Israeli occupation continues the genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Gaza Strip, which led to the martyrdom of more than 35,000 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children.

During a UN General Assembly meeting on Friday, Al-Dahhak said granting Palestine full membership in the United Nations expresses commitment to the principles of international law and the UN Charter, and represents fulfilment of rights, and recognition of the established, inalienable, legitimate right of the Palestinian people.

Syria affirms that obstructing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with sovereignty on Palestinian soil by the United States and a number of its allies, will only contribute to prolonging the state of instability created due the Israeli occupation of the lands of a number of Arab countries in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, Al-Dahhak said.

He added that Syria condemns in the strongest terms the ongoing barbaric Israeli aggression against the brotherly Palestinian people and the accompanying repeated attacks on Syrian territories and on the people in the occupied Syrian Golan, and demands an end to these attacks.

The Syrian diplomat pointed out that Syria warns of the danger of the occupation’s invasion of the city of Rafah, which represents the last refuge for the people of Gaza Strip, and stresses the need to hold the Israeli war criminals accountable for their crimes and not to allow them to escape punishment.
