US state department spokesperson Victoria Nuland announced that theSyrian charge d'affaires in Washington had been given 72hours to leave the country. "We hold the Syrian government responsible for this slaughterof innocent lives [in Houla]," Victoria Nuland said. Canada denounced the Syrian government's "heinous andmurderous acts" while Australia described the Houla massacreas a "hideous and brutal crime". Spain talked of "unacceptable repression" andFrance's new Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, describedPresident Assad as "the murderer of his people".
The French government said "the murderous folly" of theDamascus regime threatened regional security. The Dutch declared Syria's ambassador to the Netherlands, whois also ambassador to Belgium and lives in Brussels, as"persona non grata". Fellow EU state Bulgaria said it was expelling Syria'sinterim ambassador and two other diplomats in protest at thekillings in Houla. Despite the show of protest, it is unclear whether the massdiplomatic expulsions will change much on the ground.
Syria's charge d'affaires in London has been givenseven days to leave. "The international community is appalled by the violence thathas continued, by the behavior of the regime, by the murder of somany innocent people," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said. President Assad said the success of Kofi Annan's peace plandepended on halting what he called terrorist actions and stoppingarms- smuggling . Kofi Annan conveyed "the grave concern of the internationalcommunity about the violence in Syria, including in particular therecent events in Houla", the UN envoy's office wasquoted as saying by AFP news agency.
"He conveyed in frank terms his view to President Assad thatthe six-point plan cannot succeed without bold steps to stop theviolence and release detainees, and stressed the importance of fullimplementation of the plan." Russia, which supplies arms to the Syrian government and hasblocked UN resolutions calling for action against Damascus, hasblamed both sides for Friday's massacre. Its Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, expressed concern that"certain countries" were beginning to use the Houlamassacre "as a pretext for voicing demands relating to theneed for military measures to be taken". A meeting of the so-called Friends of Syria group is to meet inFrance in July, President Francois Hollande's office said.
