The United Arab Emirates called on Saturday for an urgent meeting of the Arab League to discuss a response to “al-Houla massacre” which claimed the lives of nearly 100 civilians, including dozens of children.
“The targeting of the civilians could not be condoned as it is a violation to our humanity, and signifies the tragic failure of our collective Arab and international efforts to put an end to the violence against the civilians in Syria,” UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said in a statement carried by the state news agency WAM.
“Our Arab and Islamic ethics do not allow this criminal mass killing, and we must as a nation proud of its values to intervene to protect the innocents in Syria,” he added.
