From the very beginning of the crisis in Syria, terrorist organizations have been carrying out chemical attacks against Syrian people with the help of Turkey, Israel and other states aiming at accusing the Syrian army of such atrocious attacks.  Attacking residential neighborhoods in Aleppo City by terrorist organizations came as a result of facilitating terrorists’ access to chemical substances by some states. On Nov. 24th 2018, armed terrorist groups attacked with toxic gases safe residential neighborhoods in Aleppo City as they targeted the neighborhoods of al-Khalidyia, al-Hamadanyia, al-Shahba, al-Neel Street and Jam’ayat al-Zahra in Aleppo City with tens of mortar shells filled with chlorine as 107 civilians suffered from suffocation and very dangerous cases of poisoning, mostly women, children and elderly people, in addition to the damages inflicted on the public and private properties in the targeted areas.

This terrorist act comes as a result of facilitating terrorists’ access to chemical substances by some states with the aim of using them against the Syrian people and accusing the Syrian Government of that through farcical plays whose scenario had been previously prepared at the black rooms of the intelligence of some states which sponsor terrorism and these plays are carried out by terrorists of the (White Helmets) who are also involved in this terrorist act as the shells were fired from areas where they are active and in particular from the southeastern area of al-Braikyiat village in Aleppo countryside.

The int’l coalition’s barbaric attacks against innocent civilians have become systematic and deliberate acts using internationally-prohibited weapons of huge destructive capability such as the white phosphorus bombs.

Tens of civilians were martyred or injured two days ago after the US-led international coalition’s warplanes launched new airstrikes on Abu al-Hasan village in southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor under the pretext of fighting Daesh (ISIS) terrorist organization.

 Syrian people nationwide remember these days with great pride the glorious  anniversary of the Correction Movement which was led by the late great leader Hafez al-Assad. The importance of the Correction Movement lies in the fact that it corrected the march of the Baath Party and returned it to the people. Syrian people are marking the anniversary with strong determination to press ahead with the battle against takfiri terrorism, which aims to destroy the great achievements realized by the Correction Movement. Syria marks this anniversary while being more stronger, determined and more committed to the national principles and interests of its people. ‏

 Before November 16, 1970, Syria was a weak state that has no position on the geo-political map. But after that date, the late great leader Hafez al-Assad changed Syria into a key state to be reckoned with at all levels. The late President, through his wisdom, strategic vision and firm stances has achieved great accomplishments, established strategic relations with neighboring countries and created a vital and effective space and a regional balance. Syria has moved into the stage of an effective Arab presence in the regional and international circles to defend the rights of the Arab nation, especially the central cause of the Arab people, the Palestine question.

‏It is too difficult to enumerate the achievements of the Correction Movement in an article. The great Correction Movement created the appropriate atmosphere to lay the foundation for establishing the state and building the human being making Syria realize comprehensive socio-economic development represented by great accomplishments in all domains.

October victory in 1973 was one of the great achievements of the Movement. It is considered a luminous landmark in the history of modern Syria. Immediately after the Correction Movement, the late great President Hafez al-Assad began the process of rebuilding the Syrian army to be ready to the battle of liberation against the Israeli forces of occupation. The late great leader Hafez Al Assad re-built Syria's military in order to unleash a war of Liberation. On October 6^th, 1973, the Syrian and Egyptian armies achieved a landslide victory against the Israeli army. The victory inaugurated the dawn of a new era and created a promising turning point in the life of the Arab Nation. This sweeping victory had great consequences at the local and international levels.

The economic siege imposed by some governments on many of the world’s states directly hinders the achievement of economic and social development of these states’ peoples. Those who impose the unilateral sanctions are the states which enjoy an economic, political and military influence which makes them think that they can punish the states which oppose their policies of imposing hegemony on the world under the pretexts of defending human rights or combating terrorism.

The General Assembly should set active mechanisms for putting an end to these hostile practices and to the policies of siege and the unilateral economic measures which violate the international law. The states which impose illegal economic sanctions are responsible for the economic losses inflicted on the states on which they impose such illegal siege.

The US administration's bid to re-impose sanctions on Iran's vital oil and financial sectors is in line with Washington's policies to undermine peace and security in the Middle East. The new wave of Washington's sanctions reflects the US failure to deliver on its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - the nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries in 2015. The United States acts in a way that contravenes the UN Charter, international law and the multilateral trade system and magnifies the humanitarian suffering of nations hit by these sanctions. The new package of sanctions will only make Iran more determined to abort the US unethical policies.

The US policies and decisions are facing practical opposition across the world. Most countries except few ones have started opposing the US behavior, particularly over the re-imposition of unilateral sanctions. The recent destructive move by the US to impose a new wave of sanctions on Iran should be immediately reviewed. If Washington, as it claims, is indeed interested in negotiations with Tehran, the policy of sanctions pressure aimed at diminishing Iran’s economic and defense potential as well as undermining the internal political situation there must be revised immediately. America's goal with sanctions is to cripple and hold back Iran's economy, but the outcome is that the push toward self-sufficiency has expanded in the country.

Benjamin Netanyahu has welcomed US President Donald Trump's decision to re-impose all sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear accord on Iran. Netanyahu cried foul, saying he had been calling for "renewed sanctions" against Iran "for years. Back in May, Netanyahu hailed what he called Trump’s "bold" decision to pull the US out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as the nuclear deal is officially known.

Fifty four years have elapsed since Syria’s victory against the Zionist entity in October Liberation War. The memories of 1973 war will remain vivid in the minds as the Arab soldiers shattered the legend of the invincible Israeli army and proved the capability of Syrian fighters to use the most sophisticated  weapons and achieve landslide victories.

The Syrian army’s battlefield victories continue to roll on. Nowadays, the Syrian people are living the joy of victory over large-scale terrorist war waged on their country with the aim of undermining its strength, unity and steadfastness. A victory that would not have been possible without the heroism and bravery of the Syrian army and the great sacrifices of its members to restore security and stability to every part of their beloved homeland.

The significant triumph in October Liberation War paved the way for a series of victories . For more than six years, the Syrian army has confronted western-US-Zionist schemes to fragment the region and defeated their agents of takfiri mercenaries despite the massive intelligence and logistic support provided for them.

Commemorating the 45th anniversary of October Liberation War, Syria is facing one of the most dangerous battles since the early twentieth century with the aim of making this country out of the circle of the confrontation with the Zionist enemy and liquidating the Palestinian cause in favor of the Zionist-Western schemes to control the Arab region with all its human and natural resources.
