Abdul Halim Khaddam, a Syrian opposition figure, said that the solution to the Syrian issue lies in international intervention and Arab countries convening a national conference for all segments of the Syrian people to demand the overthrow of the Assad regime.
He also stated that Hezbollah is one of Iran’s most important tools in the region and has established sleeper cells in the Arab and foreign world in favor of Iran. Khaddam emphasized that if the Americans wanted to end the Syrian crisis, they could do so in two days, suggesting that three strikes on Assad’s forces would make him and his army collapse.
Khaddam, a former high-ranking Syrian politician who held various positions in the government during Hafez al-Assad’s rule, later defected from the Syrian regime and formed the National Salvation Front, an opposition group.
He expressed that there is no hope for a political solution with a dictatorial regime that uses killing and destruction as methods. According to him, the solution is to support the Syrian people, but he noted that the Syrian people have not yet requested military forces from the Arab and international communities, and no real support operation has taken place.
