Riyadh, SANA- President Bashar al-Assad stressed that priority now is to stop the massacres, genocide and ethnic cleansing committed by the Zionist entity, and working to restore the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
In a speech at the extraordinary Arab and Islamic summit held in Riyadh to discuss the repercussions of the Israeli continued aggression on the Palestinian territories and Lebanon and the latest developments in the region, President al-Assad said “we possess the tools together, popularly and officially, Arabs and Muslims, countries and peoples, and what we need is the decision to use them.”
President al-Assad affirmed “we are not dealing with a State in the legal sense, but rather with an outlaw colonial entity, and we are not dealing with people in the civilized sense, but rather with herds of settlers that are closer to barbarism than humanity.”
Following is the text of (highlights) of President al-Assad’s speech (SANA):
A year has passed and the crime continues, do we meet today in order to reproduce the late past and its events, or to change the course of the coming future and its prospects. Last year, we emphasized stopping the aggression and protecting the Palestinians, the outcome of the year was tens of thousands of martyrs and millions of displaced people in Palestine and Lebanon. In 2002, the Arabs proposed an initiative for peace, but the response was more massacres against the Palestinians.
“Despite the importance of working to restore all legitimate rights, the priority now is to stop massacres, to stop genocide, and to stop ethnic cleansing, as for the tools, I believe that we possess them together, popularly and officially, Arabs and Muslims, countries and peoples, and what we need is the decision to use them in case the entity refuses to respond to what was stated in the statement and the agreed upon, which is the expected, and determine our choices then, do we get angry again? Do we condemn? Do we appeal to the international community or do we boycott? And this the weakest faith or what? What is our executive plan,” President al-Assad wondered.
“Without that, we encourage the continuation of the genocide and become indirect partners in it as we are not dealing with a State in the legal sense, but rather with an outlaw colonial entity, we are not dealing with people in the civilized sense, but rather with herds of settlers who are closer to barbarism than to humanity,” the President reiterated.
President al-Assad added that it is not correct to say that the problem is the current mindless extremist government and a people, terrified of what happened on October 7 of last year, they are all working with one ideological mind, a mind sick with bloodshed, sick with the illusion of superiority, afflicted with schizophrenia between hating Nazism allegedly, and loving it as an organic part realistically.
“Those are the targets of our meeting today and those are the problem, and the problem determines the means, the means is the basis of success, and here lies the essence of our meeting today, which I hope will be successful, and that we will succeed in making the right decisions, so that we are not like those who speak to the thief in the language of the law, to the criminal in the language of morals, and to the murderer in the language of humanity, and so that good intentions will never again be a starting point and motivation for more death to the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, who, over the decades, have paid the price for good intentions and absent mechanisms,” President al-Assad concluded.
