Representative Amal Abdel-Hamid, a member of the House of Representatives, directed a request to express a proposal to Counselor Hanafi Jabali, Speaker of the House, addressed to Ambassador Sameh Shoukry, Minister of Foreign Affairs, calling for Egypt to adopt a position calling for an Arab consensus for the return of Syria to its vacant seat in the Arab League.
In her proposal, the representative said, today, Wednesday: “Syria throughout history represents great importance in terms of geography, politics and strategy, whether in relation to the regional region, just as Syria historically played an Arab role from the ocean to the Gulf, which no one forgets of Damascus regarding the issues of its Arab nation.” And the victories achieved by the Arabs throughout their history, in which Syria was a major player.
Abdel Hamid added, “The freezing of Syria’s membership in the Arab League, against the background of the events it witnessed in 2011, had its justifications at the time. However, despite the passage of nearly a decade since the suspension of Syria’s membership, this did not help to reach a solution to the crisis, but rather exacerbated it.” complexity.”
Abd al-Hamid wondered about the damages incurred by the Arabs from suspending Syria’s membership in the Arab League, pointing out that the suspension of Syria’s membership in the Arab League and its isolation from its Arab surroundings helped pave the way for many regional and international parties to interfere in Syrian internal affairs.
The deputy stressed that Syria, with its geographical and strategic location, represents an addition to the elements of Arab power, and the eastern wing of the Arab world if it is linked to its Arab surroundings, and that it is of particular importance to Egyptian national security in particular. Whereas from a strategic and security point of view, the defense of Egypt begins from the north.
Abdel Hamid indicated that the return of Syria to its surroundings is in the interest of the Arabs. The security of the Arabs starts from Idlib and the east of the Euphrates, and the continued absence of Syria from the equation of the balance of power in the Arab region means more weakness of the Arabs and the exposure of their eastern security wing, and contributes to opening the door to competing regional ambitions that aspire to extend their influence beyond the borders of Syria, and the absence of the Arabs from Syria will not It is filled with nothing but the enemies of the Arabs, just as the current challenges that the world is witnessing, with the Arab region at its heart, necessitate Arab solidarity and with it necessitate the return of Damascus to its motherland; To give the Arab security elements more power.
The representative called on Cairo to adopt a position calling for an Arab consensus for cooperation and work for the return of Syria to its Arab surroundings and to fill its vacant seat in the Arab League since 2011.
