He also underscored that it represents a broader battle of civilization against barbarism.
His remarks come in the midst of mounting concerns regarding the escalating humanitarian crisis and civilian casualties, including the tragic deaths of over 4,000 children, marking this as the most devastating wartime humanitarian disaster since World War II, according to the United Nations.
