Syrian Foreign Minister Dr. Fayssal Mikdad denounced the Israeli aggression against Gaza, exposing the falsehood of Western countries' slogans of promoting human values and international law. He emphasized that Syria has repeatedly warned of the repercussions of these aggressions and called on the Security Council to intervene, but the United States has consistently prevented the Council from doing so. Mikdad's remarks came during the UN Security Council's Ministerial Meeting on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian issue.
