NEW YORK, (ST)_ Syria’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations Dr. Bashar Al-Jaafari has stressed that the hand that will target Syria will be cut off.

Al-Jaafari was speaking in response to the anti-Syria remarks made by the Saudi Regime’s UN representative during a UN meeting yesterday night in which he threatened Syria of a possible Saudi military action similar to the “Decisive Storm” military aggression carried out by the Kingdom of Al-Saud against Yemen.

In his remarks, the Saudi representative claimed that his country has proved ability to be decisive and to help its brothers in Yemen, more than a thousand Yemenis, mainly children and women, were slaughtered, and that it will spare no effort to help the Syrian people achieve what he called their aspirations. These remarks were seen by observers as a blatant Saudi announcement to support terrorist organizations in Syria and in other countries of the region.

Al-Jaafari said that “Saudi Arabia has been the hotbed of hatred, terrorism and sectarianism,” the same culture adopted by the Zionist Israeli entity.

“If the Saudi ambassador has the authority to threaten my country by what he said, I dare him in front of you all: let Saudi Arabia show us what it can do against Syria and then we will cut its hands off and Saudi Arabia will get the punishment it deserves,” al-Jaafari said in his response.

“The Saudi policies have deepened bloodshed in the region and the kingdom will pay for these wrong policies,” he added, pointing out that the Saudi ambassador’s threats to Syria affirm the involvement of the Saudi regime in the conspiracy on Syria and in recruiting, financing and training the fundamentalist mercenaries and terrorists coming from all over the world.

Al-Jaafari clarified that “the Saudi UN representative talked about Syria in a shameful and unacceptable way and he forgot that the topic of our discussions is the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian Cause. He actually lost his way, knowingly or unknowingly, he served Israel and its allies.
