Some western countries trying to use UN as a tool to implement their hegemonic agendas: al-Jaafari
NEW YORK, (ST)- Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Bashar Al-Jaafari has stressed that some influential western countries are trying to control the United Nations and turn it into a tool to implement their hegemonic schemes and piracy-based agendas in the Arab region.
During a Security Council session on Monday on the situation in the Middle East, al-Jaafari said that “the control of some western countries over the Security Council makes it unable to enforce its resolutions on ending the Israeli occupation of the Arab territories in Palestine, the Syrian Golan and South Lebanon.”
He pointed out that the Israeli occupation authorities keep trying to change the demographic character and the Syrian national identity of the occupied Syrian Golan and they continue to steal its natural resources and land.
“Occupied Golan is part and parcel of the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic and restoring it to the June 4th , 1967 lines by all legitimate means will continue to be a top priority for Syria,” al-Jaafari reaffirmed.
He said that the countries that support Israel are responsible for the repercussions of the crimes and violations being committed by the Israeli occupation in the occupied Arab territories, because such Israeli crimes couldn’t have continued without the blind support of these countries
Al-Jaafari went on to say that Syria reaffirms its firm support for the right of the Palestinian people to self determination, to repatriation and to the establishment of an independent state with al-Quds as a capital.
