Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev Saturday reviewed in a telephone conversation the "grave situation" in Gaza due to the continued Israeli aggression, the official SANA news agency reported.
The two leaders reviewed the situation in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip because of "the crimes committed by Israel against children, women and men and the deliberate destruction of infrastructures of schools, mosques, universities and hospitals," said the report.
Assad called upon Medvedev to enhance the international moves to pressure Israel to stop the massacres against the Palestinian people, break the siege on the Gaza Strip and open the crossings to put an end to the sufferings of the people.
Israel has been carrying out unprecedented airstrikes on the Gaza Strip since last Saturday, leaving some 450 people killed and nearly 2,300 wounded, and destroying Hamas buildings, houses and mosques.
