The stance of al-Moallem had pushed the European Union to impose sanctions on him along with figures since 2011 and later US sanctions as a result of revealing the western role in supporting terrorism against Syria as al-Moallem has not stooped to criticize the western policies, describing the Western officials as a “chorus of liars”.
While delivering Syria speech at the 75th session of the United Nations’ General Assembly, al- Moallem said that “Caesar Act “ has targeted the Syrian people in their livelihood and daily life.
The Presidency of the Cabinet and the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry have mourned the death of Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al-Moallem who passed away on Monday at dawn.
