Bashar al-Assad: Arab countries are complicit in the Gaza genocide

The Houthis, Hezbollah, Iran, and militias in Iraq and Syria have come to the aid of the Palestinians, but the rest of the Middle Eastern nations in the Middle East, particularly the rich Sunni oil monarchies, have not. From Bashar al-Assad at resistancenews.org:

Full speech by the President of the Syrian Arab Republic, Bashar al-Assad, on November 11, 2024.

Delivered at the Extraordinary Arab and Islamic Summit held in Riyadh to address the consequences of ongoing Israeli aggression in Palestinian territories and Lebanon, as well as developments in the region.

Bashar al-Assad: His Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Your Highnesses, Majesties, and Excellencies,

I will not delve into the inalienable and historic rights of the Palestinians and the urgent duty to defend them firmly, nor the resilience of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and our duty to support them immediately and fully. Nor will I discuss the legitimacy of their resistance in both nations, a resistance that embodies honor, dignity, and nobility, through the achievements and sacrifices of its valiant leaders and brave fighters. I also will not dwell on the Nazi-like brutality of the Zionist occupiers, their crimes, their artificial entity, or how Western support has transformed into direct and open complicity with this regime’s crimes—this is already well-known by the majority of Arabs, Muslims, and many others worldwide.

As for our summit: a year ago, we gathered to express our condemnation and indignation, yet today the crime persists. Are we here to recall past events, or to influence the future? Last year, we insisted on ending the aggression and protecting the Palestinians, but a year later, we see tens of thousands of martyrs and millions of displaced people in Palestine and Lebanon. In 2002, the Arab world proposed a peace initiative; the response was increased massacres of Palestinians.

In 1991, we Arabs trusted in so-called American “goodwill” by joining the Madrid peace process. Yet our peace was used to justify their wars and legitimize their settlements, exposing not a misjudgment but an inability to prepare the necessary tools: we rely on words, while they employ violence. We offer peace, they shed blood.

One response to “Bashar al-Assad: Arab countries are complicit in the Gaza genocide

  1. Reading about RF stating that Uke spies in Syria will be weeded out and dealt with.

    Joe Joe Brandon sending arms and cash to ME and 404 while he still can until bomb bomb Iran begins under Trump.

    The Neocon wet dream but what if it doesn’t end well and Brandon has unified the ME against the chosen.

    Historic!
