FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Speaking in Oslo, Mr Cameron said: “If these reports are true, it is yet
another absolutely brutal and sickening attack.
“Frankly, the international community has got to condemn absolutely this
regime and President Assad for what he is doing.
“I think that lots of different countries in the world – countries that
sit around the UN Security Council table – have got to sit down today and
discuss this issue.
“None of them should be able to hide from the fact that, if this is true,
it will be once again President Assad demonstrating that his regime is
completely illegitimate and cannot stand.
“We need to do much more to isolate Syria, to isolate the regime, to put
the pressure on and to demonstrate that the whole world wants to see a
political transition from this illegitimate regime and to actually see one
that can take care of its people.
“It really is appalling, what is happening in that country, and I want to
see concerted action from the international community.”
Hillary Clinton later said the violence in Hama was “unconscionable”.
Earlier she called
for a full transfer of power from Assad’s Syrian regime, following
reports of a fresh massacre in the country.
Reports on Wednesday night emerged of a bloody mass killing of civilians in
the province of Hama, leaving dozens dead. The Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights put the number of villages killed at an initial
estimate of 100.
The Syrian government on Thursday denied carrying out the massacre, denouncing
the reports as “completely false”, and once again laying the blame
with a “terrorist group”.
An official close to Mrs Clinton on Thursday said: “We can’t break faith
with the Syrian people who want real change.”
Mrs Clinton set forth “essential elements and principles that we believe
should guide that post Assad transition strategy, including Assad’s full
transfer of power,” the official said.
Other elements include “the establishment of a fully representative and
inclusive interim government which leads to free and fair elections, a
ceasefire to be observed by all and equality for all Syrians under the law,”
the official said.
Mrs Clinton stressed that in the meantime countries in a group of “Friends
of the Syrian People” were looking at ways of tightening sanctions
against the regime and adding new measures with an eye to peeling away
domestic support for Assad.
Countries that provide assistance to the Syrian opposition also agreed to
convene a meeting of their experts with opposition representatives in
Istanbul at mid month to better coordinate the assistance.
The participants, mainly Arab and European foreign ministers, met here against
the backdrop of fresh reports of massacres in Syrias and growing fears of a
descent into a destabilising civil war.
They discussed calls made by some countries for invoking Chapter VII of the UN
charter, which authorises member states to take “all necessary measures”
to carry out UN Security Council decisions.
“The secretary made clear Chapter VII remains on the table at the
appropriate time,” the official said, briefing reporters on condition
of anonymity.
The official portrayed the secretary’s presentation as an attempt to lay out a “common
vision” that can unite the international community on action toward
Syria in the period ahead.
It was expected to be taken up in debate Thursday at the United Nations when
the Security Council meets to hear special envoy Kofi Mr Annan’s report on
his efforts to salvage a battered peace plan for Syria.
Vehement opposition from Russia and China, however, has so far blocked action
at the UN Security Council despite rising condemnation over massacres of
civilians by forces loyal to the regime.
Mrs Clinton is sending her special representative on Syria, Fred Hoff, to
Moscow on Thursday to sound out the Russians, the official said.
“She made clear that we want to work with Russia, but that we’ve got to
have a common vision,” the official said.
