Al-Jaafari: Countries that support terrorism are imposing unjust steps against Syrians and exploiting them

New York – Syria’s Permanent Representative at the UN Bashar al-Jaafari said that there are states that support terrorist organizations in Syria and prevent to put these organizations on terrorism lists, and at the same time they impose unjust steps against the Syrian people and exploit their needs and suffering for political gains.

In a Security Council session held on Friday to discuss the situation in the Middle East, al-Jaafari said it has become known to everyone that the aforementioned countries support and protect terrorist organizations and cover up their crimes in the Security Council, which was made apparent when a certain states refused Russia’s request to include “Ahrar al-Cham movement” and “Jaish al-Islam” on the Security Council’s list of terror groups, despite the fact that these groups are operating in an alliance with Jabhat al-Nusra terror organization on the ground and carrying out terrorist activities, SANA reported.

He pointed out that some states claim to care for human rights and the Syrian people, making statements left and right as if their only concern is the safety, stability, welfare, and interests of the Syrians, but in reality these states’ actions on the ground prove otherwise.

Al-Jaafari stated that the identity of the perpetrator of the terrorist bombings that took place recently in the cities of Jableh and Tartous is known to the UN Under-Secretary-General.

Syria’s Representative asserted that claims about the Syrian government preventing humanitarian aid from entering the town of Daraya are baseless, noting that the Syrian government granted the UN 19 agreements to deliver humanitarian aid, but only 3 of those were carried out, asserting that delays in grant agreements only seeks to ensure the security of UN teams.
