PKS Kecam Serangan Gas Beracun di Suriah, Minta PBB Bertindak
Jakarta - Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) mengutuk serangan gas sarin di kota Khan Sheikhun, Suriah. PKS meminta PBB untuk bertindak atas serangan tersebut.
"PKS mengecam serangan beracun di Suriah karena itu bukan saja melanggar peraturan tentang perang, yang seharusnya melindungi rakyat sipil, melainkan juga telah menjadikan rakyat sipil sebagai 'killing field'," ujar anggota fraksi PKS, Nasir Djamil dalam perbincangan, Jumat (7/4/2017).
PKS menganggap serangan tersebut merupakan sebuah pelanggaran kemanusiaan. Serangan itu juga disebut sangat biadab. PKS meminta PBB memproses serangan tersebut dengan cepat dan berdasarkan hukum internasional.
"Ini bentuk pelanggaran yang sangat biadab dan tidak manusiawi. Karena itu, PKS meminta agar PBB dan negara-negara yang menjunjung tinggi hak asasi manusia segera bertindak cepat dan memprosesnya secara hukum internasional," tutur Nasir yang juga anggota Komisi III DPR itu.
Terkait serangan kimia di Suriah pada Selasa (4/4), negara-negara Barat termasuk AS menyalahkan pasukan militer Assad. Pejabat-pejabat intelijen AS mengatakan, kematian para korban besar kemungkinan disebabkan oleh gas saraf sarin yang dijatuhkan oleh pesawat tempur Suriah.
Pemerintah Suriah membantah terlibat dalam serangan gas beracun itu dan menyalahkan pemberontak atas serangan kimia terparah di Suriah itu.
Rusia pun membela sekutunya, Suriah dengan menyatakan bahwa gas beracun tersebut adalah milik pemberontak yang disimpan dalam gudang, yang terkena serangan udara rezim Suriah.
Namun, organisasi pemantau konflik Suriah, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights menyatakan, kecil kemungkinan kelompok pemberontak mampu memproduksi senjata kimia dan serangan itu dilakukan dengan pesawat tempur, yang hanya dimiliki pasukan rezim Assad. (gbr/imk)

Bom kimia yang diduga bom Sarin dikabarkan diledakkan di salah satu distrik di Suriah. Dan - seperti biasa - media internasional seperti BBC, CNN dll langsung menuding bahwa itu adalah ulah Bashar Assad, pemimpin Suriah.
Benar-benar janggal. Pasukan pemerintah Suriah sudah hampir memenangkan perang disana, untuk apa mereka tiba-tiba membuat langkah yang akan memojokkan mereka sendiri dengan membunuhi rakyatnya?
Belum ada penyelidikan, tiba-tiba sudah dipastikan bahwa itu bom kimia berjenis Sarin. Dan yang lebih aneh lagi, tiba-tiba banyak dokter disana..
Permainan Hollywood dimainkan lagi di Suriah dengan organisasi pembalik fakta yang berkedok kemanusiaan "White Helmets" sebagai salah satu sumber berita bagi media internasional itu.
Melihat Suriah adalah melihat masa depan kita. Seperti apa kita nanti ketika mereka memelintir berita melalui jaringan internasional mereka..
Dan lihat saja, sudah muncul kotak donasi dengan menjual gambar2 #Save2an yang dananya malah dikirim ke pihak teroris disana..

Russia just suspended key military agreements with the US — raising the risk of war
Business Insider

Reuters
Following the US's strike on a Syrian military airfields and infrastructure, Russia announced their departure from two key agreements that sought to minimize the risk of conflict between US-led coalition forces and Russian and Syrian forces.
The Russia Foreign Ministry announced that it suspended an agreement to avoid clashes between Russian and US-led coalition jets over Syrian airspace, while Reuters reporter Idrees Ali reports that Russia withdrew from a deconfliction channel, which the US used last night to warn Russian forces of the incoming cruise missile strikes.
So now the US has jets flying missions against ISIS in eastern Syria mere miles away from Russian jets in western Syria supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Without channels and agreements to communicate, the risk of accidental conflict between the world's two largest nuclear powers grows.
However, Sim Tack of Stratfor, a geopolitical analysis firm, told Business Insider that the deconfliction channel "may be reinstated soon."

Additionally, "the US has a serious amount of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets at its disposal where they can monitor airspace effectively and minimize that risk," said Tack. Essentially, the US can use drones, radars, and satellites to make sure the path is clear before launching any strikes.
Russia has condemned the US strike, which was a retaliation to a chemical weapon attack that killed 80 in the northeastern part of the country. Meanwhile, many leaders from around the world have hailed the move.
"It is in this vital national security interest of the US to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons," US President Donald Trump said in a televised address after the strikes.

Who's with the US on Syria airstrike and who isn't
US warships launch cruise missiles at Syria
(CNN)Nothing is simple about the crisis in Syria.
With conflicting interests and competing global powers, the international community remains at an impasse over Syria's six-year conflict.
On Friday morning local time, the US military struck a Syrian airbase in response to a chemical weapons attack, bringing mixed reaction from global players. Some lauded the action as long overdue, while others condemned it as "an aggression."
Here's a look at the key countries involved in Syria, their reactions to the airstrike and their stakes in the conflict.
United States
Trump: 'Assad choked out the lives of helpless civiiansl'
Trump: 'Assad choked out the lives of helpless civiiansl' 02:48
Involvement: Since 2014, the US has headed an international coalition conducting airstrikes on ISIS targets in Syria. Under former President Barack Obama's administration, the US launched a military campaign against ISIS in both Iraq and Syria. Since then, President Donald Trump's administration continued Obama's bombing campaign against ISIS.
But the airstrikes marked the first direct military action the US has taken against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Desired outcome: The Obama administration had said that Assad must go. There are questions whether the Trump administration's approach to Syria will shift from his predecessor. A week ago, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the "longer-term status of President Assad will be decided by the Syrian people." It remains to be seen how the airstrikes affect the Trump administration's policy on Syria.
Russia
Reaction: Opposes airstrike
Russian President Vladimir Putin regards the US attacks on Syria as "an aggression against a sovereign state in violation of the norms of international law, and under a trumped-up pretext at that," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted in Russian state-run news agency Sputnik.

This could bring new strain in the US-Russia relationship.
"Co-operation between the Russian and US militaries may be shut down after the US strike," said Viktor Ozerov, head of the defense committee in the Federation Council to Russian state news agency RIA.
He said Russia will demand an urgent UN Security Council meeting after the US airstrike, calling it "an act of aggression against a UN member."

Involvement: Russia is Syria's most powerful ally and has provided the military might behind President Bashar al-Assad's grip on the country. Russia has significant economic and military interests in the country, such as a Mediterranean naval base at Tartus, that it is determined to keep. Throughout the years, it has staunchly shielded Syria from UN resolutions in the UN Security Council.
Desired outcome: Putin has made it clear that as far as he's concerned, Assad isn't going anywhere for the time being. More broadly, some analysts see Putin using Syria as an opportunity to send a message that it's a force to be reckoned with -- one that the US and its allies can't ignore.
Saudi Arabia
Reaction: Supports airstrike
The Saudi Foreign Ministry expressed its "full support ... for the American military operations on military targets in Syria," according to a statement from the Saudi Press Agency.
An official source in the foreign ministry "noted the courageous decision of US President Donald Trump, which represents a response to crimes this regime has committed towards its people in light of the inaction of the international community in stopping it in its tracks."
Involvement: Saudi Arabia is one of the main supporters of insurgent groups battling the Syrian regime and ISIS. It is also one of the nations participating in the US-led coalition's airstrikes.
Desired outcome: Riyadh has pushed for Assad's ouster, and is not likely to settle for much less.
Jordan
Reaction: Supports airstrike
Government spokesman Mohammad Momani said Jordan considers the strike "a necessary and appropriate response to the non-stop targeting of innocent civilians" with weapons of mass destruction.
Jordan reiterated its rejection and condemnation of the use of weapons of mass destruction, including the recent chemical attack against civilians in Khan Sheikhoun in Syria's Idlib province.
Momani called the chemical attack in Idlib province an "inhumane and heinous act." He repeated Jordan's support for all international efforts geared towards preventing future recurrence of using chemical weapons after Syria was declared free of them in the past.
Involvement: Jordan is part of the coalition fighting the Islamic State and has taken in hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees. That influx has changed the make-up of the oil-less nation, which shares a 233-mile border with Syria.
Desired outcome: Jordan's King Abdullah II, speaking at a press conference with President Donald Trump in Washington on Wednesday, said, "We need a political solution that ends the conflict in the country and preserve its unity and territorial integrity. "
Turkey
Reaction: Supports airstrike
'We welcome the US operation," said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusogulu.
Turkey called the airstrikes "a positive response to the Assad regime's war crimes."
Ibrahim Kalin, Turkey's presidential spokesman, said in a statement: "The destruction of Shayrat airbase marks an important step to ensure that chemical and conventional attacks against the civilian population do not go unpunished." He also called for a no-fly zone and the creation of safe zones in Syria.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had called Assad a "murderer" over the chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town in Syria's Idlib province.
Involvement: The country has long, porous border with Syria. Thousands of foreign fighters have flowed over it into Syria and hundreds of thousands of refugees have poured out the other way.
Bitterly opposed to Assad, the Turkish government has long supported Syrian rebels. The rise of ISIS and other Islamic extremist groups has seriously complicated matters for Erdogan, who permitted the US-led coalition to launch bombing raids against ISIS positions from its territory.
Desired outcome: Turkey wants to get rid of Assad, remove the growing threat of ISIS and bring an end years of destabilizing conflict along its southern border. But it also wants to stop the Kurds from carving their own state out of the current chaos.
Iran
Reaction: Opposes airstrike
Iran "strongly condemns" the military strike, said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi in the country's semi-official news agency ISNA.
"We strongly condemn any unilateral military action and the missile attack on the Al Shayrat airbase in Syria by the US Navy and believe that such actions, which use the excuse of a suspicious chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib, whose timing and perpetrators are shrouded in a cloud of doubt, only strengthens terrorists who were already weak and adds to the complexity in Syria and the region."
Involvement: Tehran is a staunch backer of the Assad regime, funneling money, guns and fighters its way. Iran is in an alliance with Russia in their support of the Assad government. Iran's intervention in Syria is about a much bigger struggle against Sunni militancy.
Desired outcome: Iran, a majority Shiite nation, doesn't want a Sunni-dominated Syria -- especially as the rebels' main supporters are Iran's Persian Gulf rivals: Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Iran opposes a military solution to the Syrian conflict and supports one through a political process.
China
Reaction: Opposes airstrike

China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said the country opposes the use of force in international affairs when addressing questions on the US airstrikes on Syria, but also reiterated its stance opposing the use of chemical weapons.
"China always opposes the use of force in international affairs and we advocate resolving disputes peacefully through dialogues... We always hold that the Syrian issue should be resolved through political means."
China's "Global Times," a state-sanctioned tabloid, published an editorial saying that in Trump's "first major decision on international affairs, "his haste and inconsistency has left people with a deep impression."
Involvement: China's relationship with Syria is more nuanced. Like Russia, China has repeatedly blocked sanctions attempts against the Syrian regime -- leading to a perpetual stalemate at the UN body to take any serious action on Syria. It's also a trading partner with Syria. There's a bigger factor though -- China opposes foreign intervention in Syria.
Desired outcome: China's position is that foreign countries shouldn't meddle in Syria's internal affairs -- and perhaps for good reason. China has had its own share of international controversies over its policies with Tibet as well as allegations of human rights violations.
Widespread backing

Israel: The Prime Minister of Israel account tweeted that "Israel fully supports President Trump's decision."
"In both word and action, @POTUS sent a strong and clear message today that the use and spread of chemical weapons will not be tolerated.
Trump's attack on Syria -- a decisive action, a good speech, but now what?
Japan: "The Japanese government supports the US government's resolve that it will never tolerate the spread and use of chemical weapons," Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters:
United Kingdom: "The UK Government fully supports the US action, which we believe was an appropriate response to the barbaric chemical weapons attack launched by the Syrian regime, and is intended to deter further attacks," a UK government spokesperson said in a statement.
Spain: "The Spanish government considers that the action taken by the United States in recent hours against a military base in Syria is a measured and proportionate response to the use of chemical weapons against the civil population of the country by the Syrian army," according to a Spanish government statement.
Italy: "Italy understands the reasons for a US military action, proportionate and well-timed, as a response to an unacceptable feeling of impunity, and as a deterrence signal against the risk of further use of chemical weapons by Assad," Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said in a statement on Friday.
World leaders weigh in
European Council President Donald Tusk: "US strikes show needed resolve against barbaric chemical attacks. EU will work with the US to end brutality in Syria," he said in a tweet.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel: "This attack by the United States of America is understandable, given the aspect of the war crimes, given the suffering of innocent people and given the logjam in the UN Security Council."
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: "The Syrian regime bears the full responsibility for this development. NATO has consistently condemned Syria's continued use of chemical weapons as a clear breach of international norms and agreements."
