Syrian PM stresses importance of concerted efforts to hold terrorism sponsors to account

Prime Minister, Dr. Wael al-Halqi said that the same terrorism is striking in Syria and Iraq, affirming that people in both countries have to stand united against it.
During his meeting Sunday with a delegation of the Iraqi Bar Association headed by Chief Lawyer of Najaf Mohammad Saleh al-Muhanna, al-Halqi said that the Arab nation is confronted by an existential threat to its history, culture and civilization ”unless its people defend it through enhancing pan-Arab thought.”
He underlined the role of the Arab intellectuals in fortifying the Arab society against the Wahabi thought, underlining the necessity of holding to account every state or individual that have backed terrorism in Syria and supplied them with funds and weapons, namely Saudi Arabia, the US and Israel.
