FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda He claimed the League had deliberately put forward a peace plan it knew would be rejected by Damascus as a pretext to “internationalise” the situation, adding that “half the universe” was now involved in a plot against the country.
“It is the duty of the Syrian government to take what it sees as necessary measures to deal with those armed groups that spread chaos,” he said, suggesting that Mr Assad now sees himself as in a fight to the death with the opposition, with no compromise possible.
Syrian opposition groups, who have argued for the monitoring mission to end, are calling for UN intervention “to protect civilians”, though it is not clear what that would entail. Nato has so far ruled out a military role of the sort seen in Libya, but the Syrian National Council has endorsed suggestions of a buffer zone for refugees.
That would be fiercely resisted by Damascus as a potential “Syrian Benghazi”, a base for further rebel activity as happened in Libya last year. Even if it won backing from other UN security council members such as Britain, France and the United States it would certainly be blocked by Russia.
Mr Moallem said he was confident Syria could still rely on its old Cold War ally. “No one can doubt the strength of the Russian-Syrian relationship,” he said. “Russia will never accept foreign interference in Syria’s internal affairs. That is the red line.”
Prince Mohammed bin Nawwaf, the Saudi ambassador to London, said that despite Syria’s initial rejection he believed the Arab League plan would eventually be accepted. He said he saw no prospect of military intervention, but added: “We hope the regime will comply. Definitely, it is the only hope they have.”
