Syrian President Bashar al-Assad held a meeting on Saturday with visiting Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili over the "dangerous situation" in Gaza Strip, the official SANA news agency reported.
The two sides discussed "means for the Islamic countries to move and take practical measures to compel Israel to immediately stop the massacres committed against the Palestinian people and ways to open the crossings and break the siege imposed on Gaza Strip," said the report.
Jalili emphasized his country's keenness on the coordination and cooperation with Syria regarding what is going on in Gaza, it added.
Israel has been carrying out unprecedented airstrikes on Gaza Strip since last Saturday, leaving 434 people killed and nearly 2, 300 wounded, and destroying Hamas buildings, houses and mosques, reported Xinhua.
