Palestinian Authority says it stands with Syrian people and their political choices

The Palestinian Authority said that the State of Palestine and its people stand by the Syrian people, respecting their will and political choices, in a way that guarantees their security and stability and preserves their achievements, the Wafa news agency reported.

"We reaffirm the need to respect the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic, and to preserve its security and stability, wishing continued progress and prosperity for the brotherly Syrian people," PA said in a statement.

The statement emphasized the importance of all political parties prioritizing the interests of the Syrian people.

It also said that doing so would restore Syria's key role in the region and the world, which would also support the Palestinian people's cause for freedom and independence.
