the statement by the Foreign Minister of Syria, Mr. Khaddam, in the General Assembly on 28 September of this year, in which he said that the attainment of a just peace requires: “the maintenance of a strategic balance in the region between the parties to the conflict, since, under the shadow of military superiority, the superior party would remain intransigent while the weaker party would become more adamant in its attitudes.
In this respect we call on the United States to halt all types of aid and support to Israel, especially in the military field.”
He .also stated: “The gravity of the situation in our region, with all the dangers of increased involvement by the United States and some of its allies, makes it incumbent on the world Organization to take positive decision, not only in the interests of security and of Member States, but also to safeguard the security and interests of all countries in the world.”
