DAMASCUS demanded today that the the United Nations security council take “strict and immediate” action against Israel in response to air strikes that killed least 40 people in Syria earlier this week.
The Syrian government alleged that there had been clear co-ordination between Israel and the US and that the bombing raids, which struck some 18 sites, were aimed at “implementing the American project” in Syria.
The Morning Star reported on Wednesday that the air strikes had followed a meeting between US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Yossi Cohen, head of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, in Washington on Monday.
In a letter, the Syrian Foreign Ministry called on the security council to assume its responsibilities and take firm action over the repeated air strikes by Israel.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking at a press conference on Thursday, said that US interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states was“unacceptable.”
He warned that Washington’s actions had led to serious repercussions for the countries and peoples of the Middle East and insisted that there was no alternative to a political solution in Syria.
