Syrian Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Faisal Mekdad, emphasized that what is happening in Gaza is a genocide perpetrated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has killed over 12,000 children and 8,000 women, and completely destroyed the Gaza Strip.
In a statement on the ministry's X account, Mikdad said "What European Union strategists say about building a world based on rules and regulations has faded. The murderer Netanyahu has not left any rule unbroken: International law, international humanitarian law, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Charter, children’s rights, women’s rights, democracy, disarmament, and peace."
He continued to say what is more dangerous than Netanyahu and his ruling "gang's" crimes, is the support he received from many EU leaders and the blind trust Washington has given him.
"Everyone knows that much of what the European Union leaders did before and after was a form of clowning, hypocrisy, and lies, and their defense of Netanyahu’s crimes led to pulling the rug from under all of their feet and showed them as they really are, little puppets in the hands of Zionism and enemies of peoples’ rights and aspirations," he said, slamming the West.

دمر نتنياهو قطاع غزة وقتل ما يزيد عن اثني عشر ألفاً من أطفال غزة، وما يزيد عن ثمانية آلاف امرأة، ويقترب مجموع الضحايا الذين قتلهم بدم بارد إلى حوالي واحد وثلاثين ألف شهيد وهي إبادة بشرية موصوفة.

In late February, in a video-recorded statement to a conference on disarmament in Geneva, the Syrian Foreign Minister, Faisal Mekdad, said "We see further erosion regarding the West's obligations at regional and international levels due to its insistence on following an approach that aims at sustaining its hegemony and military superiority at the expense of other nations and people's stability, security, and existence."
Mekdad further affirmed that the West's statements do not match its actions and that the "ferocious Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, and the besieged people of Palestine, would not have extended into its fifth month had the United States and its vassal countries not supported the occupation and provided it with political impunity.”
Day 156 of the genocide
The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported today that the number of Gazans murdered since October 7 has risen to 31,045 and those injured to 72,654 amid the ongoing Israeli genocide against Gaza.
Israeli occupation forces have committed 8 massacres against families in Gaza killing 85 Palestinians and injuring 130 others in 24 hours, the ministry added.
It further stressed that many victims remain under the rubble, as the IOF deliberately prevents ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.
The ministry reiterated that 72% of Palestinian victims are women and children, adding that the number of Palestinians killed by malnutrition and dehydration has risen to 25.
