Al-Dahhak: Security Council’s failure to fulfill its responsibilities encourages Israeli occupation to continue its attacks on region’s countries

Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Qusay Al-Dahhak said that the Security Council failure to fulfill its responsibilities has encouraged the Israeli occupation to continue its attacks on countries and peoples of the region, targeting border crossings, roads and bridges between Syria and Lebanon which are used by hundreds of thousands of people coming from Lebanon to escape the Israeli killing machine.

“The Israeli aggression on Syrian territory coincide with the intensification of terrorist organizations’ attacks, which affirms the close coordination and organic connection with the entity in committing criminal acts and attacks on civilians in the surrounding areas,” al-Dahhak said Thursday at a security council session on the situation in Syria.

He added that Syria has received nearly 6 thousand of Lebanese brothers and Syrian returnees following the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, and it offered all necessary services to them despite difficult conditions the country is passing through.

The Ambassador went on to say that the large numbers of Syrian returnees from Lebanon and the facilities provided to them prove the falsity of the Western allegations and require some sides to abandon their- detached from reality- claims.

Al-Dahhak added that the impacts of the extremely hostile “paper of Principles and Standards Governing the Work of the United Nations in Syria” must be ended, which contradict basic humanitarian principles and deprive the neediest groups of the right to appropriate living conditions.
