Syria lost patience with ongoing Israeli air strikes on its territory and violations of the country’s sovereignty in dramatic fashion yesterday. The UN representative of the Arab Republic implied that if Israel can strike Damascus, Syria can strike Tel Aviv.
Referring to Israel as “war-makers”, Syrian envoy Bashar al-Jaafari asked UN members: “Does drawing the attention of the war-makers in this Council require us to exercise our legitimate right to self-defence and respond to Israeli aggression on Damascus International Airport by responding in the same way on Tel Aviv Airport?”
Al-Jaafari called on the world body’s Security Council to take measures against Israel’s continued assault on Syrian territories. The latest of such strikes was reported yesterday, which led to the death of 21 people. Israeli satellite image of the air strike showed damages around Damascus International Airport.
“Isn’t it time now for the UN Security Council to stop the Israeli repeated aggressions on the Syrian Arab republic territories?” al-Jaafari insisted.
Observers considered al-Jaafari's statements as "ridiculous," where the Assad regime reserved the right to respond against Israel's aggression for 40 years, without shooting a single bullet towards the occupied territories. A fact which leaves no doubts that Assad regime will never take any military action against Israel which ensured the survival of Assad regime till the moment.
