Addressing “Israel’s” aggression on Syria, where the ‘Israeli’ Air Force targeted weapons assets belonging to the Syrian Army, Ben Saul stated, “There is absolutely no basis under international law to preventively or preemptively disarm a country you don’t like. I mean if that were the case it would be a recipe for global chaos.”
States supplying weapons to “Israel” as it continues its war on Gaza, ceasefire violations in Lebanon, and aggression on Syria, “where there would be a clear risk that they would be used to violate international humanitarian law,” may be complicit in “criminal responsibility.”
“Germany and the United States supply 99% of the weapons exported to Israel. They could stop this conflict overnight if they stopped the weapons that kill the Palestinians.”
United Nations special rapporteur on Human Rights & Counterterror Ben Saul
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported on an Israeli raid in the vicinity of Syria’s capital, Damascus.
Ever since Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stepped down on December 9, the Israeli Air Force intensified its attacks on the Syrian Army’s positions and weapons assets.
Israeli media reported that around 350 Air Force fighter jets participated in the attacks on Syria, attacking approximately 320 targets throughout the country from Damascus to Tartus, destroying around 70-80% of the army’s military infrastructure.
