The Defense Minister rebuffed "policies implemented by the U.S. and Israel to fulfill colonial aims in the region and steal its resources."
"Events prevailing the region come as part of distrustful schemes that try to hegemonies the world and penetrate into the farthest points by feigned democracies and slogans it hides behind," the minister said noting to colonial aims and stealing the region resources.
"This is what clearly is shown on the ground by this policy implemented by the Americans and the Israelis when they demolish houses of innocent people and plant fear among them as well spread chaos," he added.
