DAMASCUS, Nov 3 (NNN-SANA) – The People’s Assembly affirmed that, what the US and its allies are doing, of supporting and funding terrorism, is a desperate attempt to change the firm stances of Syria towards the Palestinian cause, and that, the terrorist war waged against the country is the extension of the ill-fated Balfour Declaration.
On the 102nd anniversary of the ill-fated Balfour Declaration, the People’s Assembly affirmed that, the Balfour Declaration constitutes a black day in the history of the Palestinian people, the Arab nation and the history of humanity as a whole, and a strong blow to international justice and legitimacy.
The statement added that, the Balfour Declaration is a flagrant violation of the rights of the Palestinian people, indicating that the hostile, racist and terrorist practices of the Israeli occupation entity, against the Palestinian people, aims at suppressing their resistance and subjugating them and abolishing their existence.
The People’s Assembly added that, attacking Islamic and Christian sanctities by the Israeli occupation entity, is a desperate attempt to impose unjust dictations on the Palestinian people, and a blatant violation of international law and its principles.
The statement read that, what has taken place and what is taking place today in Syria and the region, is an extension of the ill-fated Balfour Declaration, and what the US and its colonial allies, and the Zionists are doing, of supporting and funding terrorism and their practices of systematic destruction come in a desperate attempt to change the principled and firm stances of Syria towards the Palestinian cause, and its adherence to liberating every inch of occupied Arab territories.
The Assembly clarified that, Syria will remain a supporter of the historical rights of the Palestinian people and will continue to consider the Palestinian cause as a central cause, and the essence of the Arab national struggle, affirming that the Syrian Arab Army will remain a solid rock, which will foil all conspiracies hatched against the country.– NNN-SANA
