Syria strongly condemned the failed coup attempt against the constitutional legitimacy in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, expressing confidence that the Venezuelan people and their leadership will foil the reckless US policy.

“The Syrian Arab Republic strongly condemns the failed coup attempt on the constitutional legitimacy in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,” a source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry told SANA on Wednesday.

The source added ” The latest developments of the events and reactions in Washington have proven that the US administration is going forwards in its policies which aim at undermining stability in Venezuela and that it is using all weapons it possesses including the economic siege to get over the choices of the Venezuelan people and to transform Venezuela into a small state within the orbit of the US policy, and based on that, the failure of the coup attempt represents a strong blow to the US administration and an abject failure for its policies.”

The source said that Syria reiterates its full solidarity with the friendly leadership, government and people of Venezuela and it affirms the necessity of stopping the destructive US interference in Venezuela’s affairs, and it is confident that the Venezuelan people and their leadership will foil the reckless US policy and they will be able to restore security and stability on the basis of respecting the constitutional legitimacy and stopping all forms of foreign interference in the internal affairs and of the independent decision of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

World Slams Saudi Regime after Beheadings

Alwaght- International criticism once again poured against Saudi Arabia rulers as Riyadh on Tuesday announced it executed 37 citizens for what it claimed to be acts of “terrorism”. While there are no figures available about the real number of executions in the Arab kingdom due to the absence of international supervision, the latest executions have raised speculations about the real motivation for the move.

Intimidation policy to prevent an uprising

Saudi Arabia is one of the countries that since 1995 has been among the highest-ranking executing states. A majority of those executed in the absolutely-ruled monarchy were sentenced to the death penalty by secret courts. They range from the political dissenters to ordinary convicts whose confessions have been obtained under torture.

According to Amnesty International and the United Nations Human Rights Council, between January 1985 and January 2015 at least 2,082 Saudis were executed. However, as it was above-mentioned, there is no much trust in the announced numbers. A comparison of the execution figures over the past decade reveals an important reality.

Alwaght- The Israeli national security doctrine which is advocated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is back to the surface again. The draft document is the second attempt by Tel Aviv officials in the 70-year history of the regime to design a comprehensive national security strategy. So far, various Israeli cabinets adopted their security and military policies based on the doctrine of David Ben-Gurion, the first Israeli Prime Minister, dubbed the Alliance of Periphery or periphery doctrine.
