Saudi, UAE call on Syria to ‘stop the violence’ in Ghouta

Gulf states Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates called Thursday on Damascus to “stop the violence” in its deadly assault on the terrorist/rebel-held enclave of Eastern Ghouta.


“We stress the need for the Syrian regime to stop the violence, to allow in humanitarian aid, and to take seriously the path of a political solution to the crisis,” the Saudi foreign ministry said on Twitter.

“We are concerned over the continuation of Syrian regime attacks on Eastern Ghouta and the impact on civilians there,” it added, stopping short of an outright condemnation.

It urged Damascus to adhere to UN Security Council resolution 2254, which calls for a nationwide ceasefire and a political transition.
