Syria considered that Israel’s systematic targeting of civilian infrastructure is nothing but a miserable attempt to escape from the internal crises of the entity and to cover up its crimes, shuffling the cards and seeking to blow up the situation.

Damascus’ position came through two letters sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates yesterday through the permanent delegation in New York to both the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the Security Council, hours following the air aggression launched by the Israeli occupation entity on the vicinity of Aleppo International Civil Airport, which led to its departure from the service.

The ministry pointed out that the absolute silence of the Security Council, and the unlimited support provided by the US administration and its allies to their protégé Israel, encouraged this entity to persist in its aggressions once morest Syria, as its aggression yesterday caused the suspension of United Nations air transport services and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the affected people in the affected governorates, noting that This civilian airport was a main gateway for the delivery of humanitarian aid to those affected by the earthquake that occurred in Syria on February 6, 2023, and it received dozens of planes from member states of the United Nations and international organizations.

The ministry considered that Israel’s launching of this terrorist aggression, in parallel with the visits of UN officials to Syria and in conjunction with the continuation of efforts to follow up the difficult situation in Syria following the devastating earthquake, is not strange for a terrorist entity whose suspicious origin coincided with the assassinations of UN officials and peace mediators.

And she concluded: “The Syrian Arab Republic renews its demand to the United Nations Secretariat and the Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities under the Charter to put an end to these attacks, hold their perpetrators accountable, and ensure that they are not repeated.” Its agenda is entitled “The Situation in the Middle East”.

The source added: The aggression led to some material damage at the airport, while the Director of the General Organization for Civil Aviation, Bassem Mansour, later announced that the airport was out of service.
