rm its firm support for the Syrian people, regardless of the challenges and conspiracies.

The Foreign Minister added that Syria is fighting alongside the Palestinian people and is being exposed to aggression from the United States of America and the Zionist entity because it stands with truth and justice and with the Palestinian people in their struggle.
