DAMASCUS, (ST)_President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday received a number of leaders and representatives of Palestinian factions.
Talks during the meeting dealt with the latest developments in the Palestinian lands and the Israeli unceasing aggressions on the Palestinian people, as well as the occupation practices aiming at displacing the Palestinians from their lands in al-Quds in order to change the status-quo and feature of the city.
President al-Assad affirmed that the Israeli entity doesn’t understand the language of peace, or dialogue, because its existence in the region is based on terrorizing its people and assaulting their rights.
The President reiterated Syria’s firm stance towards Palestine as a central issue and supporting the Palestinian peoples’ struggle and their legitimate resistance in self-defense and restoration of their rights.
For their part, the members of the delegation stressed that Syria’s resilience in the war against Western and Israeli occupation-backed terrorist groups has helped boost the steadfastness of the Palestinian people, praising Syria’s support for the Palestinian people.
They said that the recent developments in Palestine, and the Israeli occupation’s massacres of the Palestinian people prove that the choice of resistance is essential for the restoration of the usurped rights and lands.
