d the Palestinian cause and adherence to the legitimate historic rights of the Palestinian people will remain a priority for Syria.
Syrian state-run news agency, SANA, quoted President Assad as saying that the current events in Syria didn't change the attitude of the Syrian people towards their Palestinian brethren in Syria; rather the events increased their solidarity and cohesion in the face of the terrorist attacks that target them both.
Zaki, for his part, said that the Palestinian people support Syria in the face of the aggression targeting it.
He assured that targeting Syria is the same as targeting the Arab nation, noting that attempts to deplete the resources of the Syrian people and army is part of a larger plan aimed at dividing the countries of the region and weaken them to serve Israel's interests.
