In a statement that resonates through the corridors of international diplomacy, Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad declared that the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria will not go without a response. Mekdad emphasized that the Israeli occupation has committed “genocidal crimes” in Gaza, making no distinctions between children and women.
During remarks broadcasted by Cairo News Channel, Mekdad highlighted the continuous support from the United States to Israel, which, according to him, enables the continuation of its massacres in the Gaza Strip. He added that a resolution to the Palestinian issue must be founded on the two-state solution, underlining the urgency of establishing a peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel.
Mekdad also called on the international community to halt the Israeli massacres in Gaza, insisting on a collective effort to address the violence that has plagued the region.
The Syrian diplomat’s statements come amidst rising tensions in the Middle East, underscoring the complexity of the geopolitical landscape. His call for an international response to the actions in Gaza points to a deep-seated concern over the enduring conflict and the imperative for a sustainable resolution.
As the international community watches closely, the implications of Mekdad’s declarations extend beyond diplomatic circles, highlighting the urgent need for dialogue and action in addressing the ongoing violence in the Middle East.
