FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Following its meeting on Sunday and its ultimatum to Mr Assad to reform, the
League will take its proposal to the United Nations later today. The
secretary-general, and Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, the prime minister
of Qatar who oversees the League’s committee on Syria, formally asked to
meet Ban Ki-moon, the secretary-general.
William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, called on the Arab League to urge the UN
Security Council to pass a resolution on Syria.
“I hope in due course the Arab League will explain the situation to the
United Nations and ask the UN Security Council to pass an appropriate
resolution that will assist towards saving lives in Syria,” Mr Hague
said after talks with Kevin Rudd, his Australian counterpart, in London.
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 “safe haven” or buffer zone implemented with a
no-fly zone if necessary.
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.”
