cuffed cannot be accepted. Our countries should do their duty to support the Syrian people against his distress and to stop continuous bloodshed that was pouring for nearly two years, leaving thousands killed or injured. The international community, especially the Security Council, has to take necessary measures and decisions to deter these crimes and violence against the Syrian people and achieve the transfer of power by all possible means, in view of the latest report by the joint Arab-international envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi before the Security Council that the Syrian crisis is deteriorating dramatically, warning of dire consequences in Syria. The Security Council is the international entity in charge of bringing about international peace and security. If we fail to push it to support the international peace and security in Syria and Palestine, we have to turn our backs against it and work to build our capabilities to solve our problems by ourselves. Proceeding from its religious and historical responsibility, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has exerted great efforts to deal with the Palestinian and Syrian issues. The Kingdom has spared no effort in providing all forms of political, financial and moral support and urging the international community to carry out its historical and moral responsibilities to alleviate the sufferings of the Palestinian and Syrian peoples. I reiterate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's full stand with Palestinian and Syrian peoples in this calamity, calling upon all States to intensify efforts at all levels to achieve the legitimate demands of the two peoples. if we could prevent foreign interference in the internal affairs of the Islamic nation, the provocation of a schism among its peoples, and tamper their cultural identity for the sake of political objectives, we will enhance the chances of achieving security, stability and development in the region. --More
