FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The GCC “countries are moving towards pulling all their monitors”
out of Syria, the newspaper reported, because they don’t want observers to
remain as “false witnesses to the crimes committed against civilians by
the Syrian regime.”
“Syria is exploiting observers to fudge a solution to the crisis,”
the newspaper said, quoting officials.
The report did not specify when the monitors would leave.
Saudi Arabia, the largest GCC member, decided on Sunday to pull its observers
from a widely criticised Arab League mission to Syria. Other GCC members
include Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
The Arab League, which met Sunday, adopted a proposal calling on Assad to step
down in favour of his deputy, paving the way for a new national unity
government and elections.
Damascus rejected the idea outright as a hostile interference in its national
sovereignty.
Western nations are capitalising on the Arab League’s tough new stance to
embark on a new diplomatic offensive to push the UN Security Council to take
touch action on the Syrian crisis.
Germany’s UN ambassador Peter Wittig said it could mark a “game changer.”
Mr Wittig and the UN ambassadors from Britain and France met counterparts from
some Arab League nations late Monday to map the next moves at the UN, after
Arab foreign ministers sought Security Council endorsement for their new
plan.
The European countries have asked for the UN Security Council to request that
Arab League chief Arabi brief the 15-member Security Council “as soon
as possible”, diplomats said.
The Security Council has been blocked for months over Syria, where the UN says
at least 5,400 people have died since protests against Assad erupted last
March. Russia and China vetoed a proposed European resolution in October
saying it was the first steps toward enforced regime change.
Mr Wittig said the Arab League’s new plan for the Syria crisis “may be a
game changer” in the diplomatic battle at the Security Council because
the League sought UN backing for its whole plan which would force the
council to discuss all elements including Assad’s future.
He called the Arab League plan “a really bold step.”
