INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY OF THE WFTU WITH THE WORKERS AND THE PEOPLE OF SYRIA AGAINST THE RECENT ISRAELI AIR STRIKES

The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) strongly condemns the continuing Israeli airstrikes against Syria during these last few days.

The recent Israeli attacks are one more episode of the imperialist campaign against Syria. The main aim of the imperialists is to control the raw materials of the region, the energy and commodity transport routes, the share of the market, the weakening of the economic and political influence which other rival powers have in the region.

The World Federation of Trade Unions expresses its internationalist solidarity with the workers and the people of Syria and stresses that the Syrian people alone, and nobody else, are entitled to decide about their present and future.
