Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Syria’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Dr. Bashar Al-Jaafari reiterated that the terrorist organizations, foremost of which is “ISIS” and “Al-Nusra Front” continue to exploit  Western coverage of their crimes and so kill more Syrians. Al-Jaafari called for  strengthening international cooperation under the umbrella of the United Nations to combat terrorism to eradicate it and support the efforts of the Syrian state in this regard.

During the session of the Security Council on Wednesday via video about the situation in Syria,  Al-Jaafari said that the hypocrisy of some countries has reached a terrible point. On the one hand the American administration claims to eliminate the terrorist organization "ISIS" and on the other hand it is reforming and operating it to target Syria. We witnessed this a few days ago through the terrorist attacks that targeted a bus in Kabajib area on the road between Palmyra and Deir Ezzor, as well as targeting fuel tanks and civilian cars on Athriya-Salamiyah road, which resulted in the death of dozens of civilians and soldiers.

Al-Jaafari noted that these terrorist attacks were carried out by "ISIS" terrorists coming from the area controlled by the American occupation forces in Al-Tanf area, which includes the Rukban camp. They are also the same terrorists who previously launched bloody terrorist attacks on civilians in Al-Suwayda governorate and targeted the Syrian Arab Army. The American occupation forces present in northeastern Syria had instructed the separatist "Qasd" militia to release the "ISIS" terrorists in its custody to revive this organization again and invest in it in Syria and Iraq.
