Syria's Foreign Minister, Faisal al-Miqdad, described in a post on X that Israeli occupation crimes in the Gaza Strip are identical and even surpass those committed by fascism during World War II.

“Those who supported Israeli occupation with Balfour Declaration or voted to recognize this entity will regret soon, and they will realize that they committed a crime against their countries and all of humanity,” al-Miqdad posted on X Saturday.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry reminded the world that during the last three weeks, the Israeli occupation murdered hundreds of children, destroyed residential buildings, and implemented a siege on the Palestinians, depriving them of water, food, and medicine.

“Over the past two weeks, Israeli occupation killed 3,000 children, destroyed approximately half of the houses in Gaza Strip, and deprived the people there of water, medicine, electricity, communications, and Internet to cover up war crimes and crimes against humanity that the occupation is committing against them or will commit later,” al-Miqdad added.

د. فيصل المقداد، وزير الخارجية والمغتربين في الجمهورية العربية السورية: لن يطول الوقت أمام من دعم إسرائيل بوعد بلفور أو التصويت في الأمم المتحدة للاعتراف بهذا الكيان حتى يندم البعض منهم على ما اقترفوه من جريمة بحق بلدانهم والإنسانية جمعاء…

According to the head of Syrian diplomacy, "It will not be long before those who supported Israel with the Balfour Declaration or vote in the United Nations to recognize this entity until some of them regret the crime they committed against their countries and all of humanity." 

The Minister added, "Instead of protecting the interests of the colonial Western countries in this region, Israel has become a moral, military, political, financial, economic and humanitarian burden on these countries."

Meanwhile, the Minister stressed that the UN body, "which has glossed Israel's image," is required to protect the Security General's status, in response to "the insult directed at him by a Zionist who represents a fascist government," adding that "the question here is: what fascist crimes committed in World War II were not committed by Israel today?" 

He stressed that the United Nations has long polished the tainted image of "Israel".

It is worth noting that the Palestinian Health Ministry reported that the death toll across the Gaza Strip has reached 7,703 and the number of wounded has reached 19,743 since the beginning of the aggression.
