Doha, Qatar: Advisor to the Prime Minister and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari has said that the de facto policy pursued by the Israel occupation to occupy Syrian lands will lead the region to more violence and tension.

He stressed, in this context, the need for the international community with its legal and moral responsibilities to compel Israel to comply with legitimate international resolutions.

Addressing weekly media briefing yesterday, Al Ansari welcomed the announcement by various opposition groups in Syria regarding guaranteeing safety and security of all citizens in Syria.

He said that Qatar is in constant contact with all regional, international partners to maintain the integrity, sovereignty of Syria and to protect the rights of all Syrians. “Syria to be a home for all, for all Syrians… we are working right now 24/7 in our communications with various parties inside Syria, in the region and beyond.”

He said that Qatar had congratulated Syrian people on great achievement of realising their dreams for freedom and winning their ambitions. “We believe this is an opportunity... not only for our brothers in Syria but also for the region.”
