The New US Bill on Syria ... “Under the Auspices of Israel”
Yesterday, Thursday, 10 December 2020, nearly 150 conservative US lawmakers submitted a bill to Congress titled “Stop the Killing in Syria”. The 32-pages Bill includes two titles and 16 sections, and numerous sub-sections.
The Bill does not include any substantial reference to a political solution or UNSC Resolution 2254, and when it talks about the Constitutional Committee, it basically states that it is useless. The Bill also speaks frankly about partitioning Syria economically and politically into a “Free Syria” and “Regime Syria”. Furthermore, and in a clear reference to the Bill’s endeavor to prevent any solution in Syria, and to preserve the “quagmire” and “stalemate” (in Jim Jeffrey’s way), the Bill and its writers, who are clearly detached from reality, seek to compel the President of the United States to refuse any cooperation with Russia in Syria.
Apart from all of that, what is noteworthy in the Bill, or what should attract attention, even before reading it, is that the conservative legislator who was given the “honor” to present it to Congress is Joe Wilson, a US representative from South Carolina.
Why is that noteworthy? Because it was Wilson himself who introduced, on 26 February 2019, the bill that was passed later, which recognizes the sovereignty of “Israel” over the occupied Syrian Golan.
