Originally published

Islamic States Information Ministers have condemned the threats against Syria and Lebanon and asserted their complete support to Syria's efforts for the restoration of the occupied Golan Heights through the complete Israeli withdrawal to June 4 1967 line.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the ministers asserted their absolute opposition of a war against Iraq and stressed the necessity of reaching a peaceful solution to the Iraqi question in the frame work of the United Nations, Security Council and the international law pointing out the necessity of keeping the Iraqi lands' security, stability and sovereignty.

The ministers welcomed Iraq's cooperation with the international inspectors and strongly condemned the double standards policy (of the USA). They called on the international Community to disarm all the Middle East region, including Israel, from weapons of mass destruction in accordance with item 14 from the UN SC resolution 687 for the year 1991.

The ministers renewed solidarity with the Iraqi people and condemned the "bloody terrorist practices perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian civilians."

They underlined their support to the Palestinian people' strife for the restoration of their usurped rights including the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
