Al-Moallem: We will not allow anyone to interfere in our national affairs
“For more than seven years, we have been in a real war against terrorism, and today we can see the signs of victory despite all Western and American attempts to prolong the crisis for many years,” he said. He noted that despite the agreement on establishing a demilitarized zone in Idleb, there are still terrorists in the area in question, which shows that Turkey isn’t serious about fulfilling its obligations, and Idleb city is still under the control of terrorists. Al-Moallem said that the US and its “international coalition” killed thousands of unarmed Syrian civilians, as the US is in fact fighting everyone in Syria except Daesh, which it actually sponsors, citing what happened to Raqqa city as proof. He went on to say that under the pretext of supporting Syrian Kurds, the US has established bases in the north of Syria and a base in al-Tanf in the south, which is actually used to reorganize Daesh terrorists to fight the Syrian Arab Army.

Al-Jaafari: Terrorist war and sanctions imposed by the US and the EU cause the suffering for the Syrian people
Syria’s Permanent Representative at the UN Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari said that it’s strange how some of the delegations from permanent members of the Security Council insist on confusing humanitarian and political issues, as these delegations continue to obstruct humanitarian efforts in Syria.
During a Security Council session on Monday, al-Jaafari noted that in conjunction with this session, the illegal “international coalition” targeted Hajin city in Deir Ezzor with white phosphorus bombs, and in conjunction with the previous session, terrorists in Idleb fired 40 rockets at Aleppo city. Addressing a report on the “humanitarian situation” in Syria, al-Jaafari said that it is illogical for those who made the report to maintain their politicized attitude towards Syria and to keep overstepping their mandate, given the fact that top Western officials have confessed to their governments’ involvement in funding and sponsoring terrorists in Syria.

Kurdish YPG Vows To Retaliate To Turkish Strikes On Its Positions In Northern Syria
We affirm once again that there was no any attack conducted from our side against the borders of the invader Turkish state and the only aim of their attacks is to create provocations and to help the ISIS terrorist structure,” the YPG said in its official account on Twitter.
It’s interesting to note that the YPG remarks once again exposed the fact that the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which are branded in the mainstream media as a coalition of “various militias”, are in fact the Kurdish-dominated group.
