(SANA) - Hundreds demonstrated in Washington last night near the Israeli embassy to protest the Israeli aggression against Lebanon. Agence France Press correspondent in Washington said the demonstrators who belong to ten NGO organizations asserted that the "US government is involved in this war because it helps Israel in a " dishonest mediator form." A demonstrator said the" US ought to actually interfere as to reach to a ceasefire." Another marcher "said what is happening in Lebanon should not take place and the aggression was financed by the United States."
Participants raised the Lebanese flags while others carried coffins covered with black cloth symbolizing victims of the fight. Three lorries carrying medicines and blankets from the Turkish al-Manara Association accompanied by a delegation from the Organization of Islamic Conference OIC Wednesday arrived at the border point with Lebanon Arida. Representative of the higher body for relief was handed the aid to be later moved to the Lebanese Erman Army barrack to be distributed by the delegation that will head to Beirut for this purpose.
In Amman, the Arab Legal Committee to Defend Syria showed total solidarity with every resisting Arab effort in Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq voicing great appreciation for martyrs blood. In a statement, the committee appealed "every free Arab to announced unlimited support to the Arab nation right to resist and self-defense before this international attack" calling western governments to confront and put pressure against this campaign to oblige them to play their role in a way that goes with masses aspirations. |
