Syria urges U.S. not to veto UN resolution on raid

By Haaretz Staff and Agencies



Syria on Monday urged the United States not to
block a UN Security Council resolution condemning
Israel's air raid overnight Sunday on a
Palestinian terror training base northwest of
Damascus, saying Washington should help prevent
escalation of tensions in the Middle East.




"We hope that the United States
does not use the veto and that
it practices its role as a
superpower in preventing
aggression and escalation," an
official Foreign Ministry
source said.

"We hope that the United States
joins those who condemned this
aggressive operation and those are the vast
majority in the world community," the source
said.

Security Council members Sunday night agreed to
delay the vote on the proposed Syrian
resolution until Monday afternoon at the
earliest.
