Solidarity with the Syrian people against the brutal Israeli aggression
Joint statement of the Communist Parties in the Arab Countries

THE threats facing Syria are increasing with the dangerous escalation in the aggressive attacks launched by Israel targeting dozens of military sites throughout the country, the incursion of its troops into the vicinity of the occupied Golan Heights, the violation of the 1974 ceasefire agreement and the announcement of its intention to impose control over vast border areas, exploiting the extremely difficult and complex conditions, especially in the living and economic aspects, that the Syrian people are facing.

This ongoing aggression, amid shameful Arab and international silence, and the silence of those who took the reins of power in Syria, aims to strike and destroy its defensive and military capabilities and their associated infrastructure in order to strategically remove Syria from the arena of battle with the state of zionist occupation and terrorism. 

It is also aimed at imposing a de facto state of normalisation, in addition to playing an active role in shaping the new political reality in Syria. It is taking place amid blatant foreign interventions and with the support of the United States and its allies in the region, and with the encouragement by the aggressive Nato, to crush the cause of the Palestinian people, implement imperialist schemes to dominate the region and its peoples, and impose the so-called “New Middle East” plan.
