Sayria apologizes to Egypt for anti-Egyptian slogans

The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that some social media platforms circulated a video clip showing a small number of people chanting offensive slogans during what was described as a solidarity stand with the Palestinian people in Gaza. 

The ministry added in a statement on Monday evening that such reprehensible actions do not at all reflect the feelings of the Syrian people toward the sisterly Arab Republic of Egypt, its leadership and people, and represent only those who carried out them.

The Syrian Ministry expresseed regret that this isolated incident has been exploited by some to try to undermine the deep and solid fraternal relations between Syria and Egypt.

The Ministry also stressed its deep appreciation and respect for Egypt and its generous people, who have hosted hundreds of thousands of Syrians over the past years.

Moreover, the ministry affirmed the Syria’s commitment to strengthening and maintaining Syrian-Egyptian relations and categorically rejects any attempt to harm these ties.
