The Minister added "We wish the Saudi Foreign Ministry's stance is not subordinate to Qatar.

Al-Zoubi: Syria Stance over Palestinian Cause Clear and Firm

Minister of information Omran Al-Zoubi stressed that Syria's stance towards the Palestinian cause is clear and not negotiable and will stay firm as before until achievement of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian's people.

During a meeting with the Executive Committee Delegation of Palestinian Liberation Organization(PLO) headed by Zakaria Ibrahim Salem Ag'a, al-Zoubi said that  the terrorists' attempt to involve Palestinian's camps in the crisis in Syria is aiming to bring Palestinians gradually into the crisis.
