FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda British Foreign Secretary William Hague says he will step up support for Syrian rebels as they seek to topple President Bashar al-Assad.
Mr Hague says Britain is giving its support to the Syrian opposition – mainly advice and expertise, help with communications and capacity to plan.
“We will be stepping this up in various ways that I will announce over the coming weeks given we’re not succeeding so far in agreeing a diplomatic solution at the United Nations,” Mr Hague told ABC Television on Thursday night.
The support was non-lethal because that was the approach the UK favoured in any Middle Eastern conflict.
His comments come amid reports President Barack Obama secretly signed an order authorising US support for rebel fighters, which the White House has declined to comment on.
Mr Hague said he would continue to work with China and Russia, which had vetoed a United Nations resolution to move towards transitional government in Syria.
“In the meantime we will step up our practical support for the opposition,” Mr Hague said.
“We call on other countries to implement sanctions similar to ours, we will document the human rights abuses taking place, we will do everything else that we possibly can and we legally can to increase the pressure on the al-Assad regime.”
Mr Assad has created a myth the uprising has been caused by foreign agents, Mr Hague said.
In reality, it was the Syrian people rising up and no foreigner had put them up to it.
“This is a problem in Syria, made in Syria, it needs to be resolved in Syria with international support,” Mr Hague said.
Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr, during a visit to Jordan on Thursday, urged people not to neglect the Syrian conflict, where thousands had been killed and many had fled to neighbouring countries.
“We urge the world not to neglect this crisis even for a moment,” Senator Carr told a joint news conference with his Jordanian counterpart Nasser Judeh in Amman.
Senator Carr plans to visit Syrian refugees in northern Jordan and called for aid for the kingdom, which is hosting 145,000 Syrian refugees.
“I appeal to the world to take notice not just of the crisis in Syria, and not just of the refugee crisis, but of the burden to Jordan that this crisis represents,” he told reporters.
