Palestinian leaders praise Syria on a trip to Damascus

A Palestinian delegation met the Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister, Faisal Al-Miqdad, on Tuesday in Damascus, while in the city to have more talks with Hamas.

The delegation was headed by Jibril Rajoub, secretary of the Fatah Central Committee, and the director general of the PLO’s political department, Anwar Abdel-Hadi.

During the meeting, which was held at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Damascus, Rajoub expressed his appreciation for the Syrian government’s ability to achieve security and stability.

While Palestinian leaders say that the worst thing for Arab governments to do is to talk with Israel, they honor the Syrian regime that slaughters hundreds of thousands of their own people.

I wonder what other Arab countries think about these chummy relations between the Syrian thugs and their Palestinian admirers.
