The Coordinating Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) has condemned in the strongest terms the provocative meeting of the Israeli entity's government in the occupied Syrian Golan to announce a plan that aims at building two new settlements in order to increase the number of Israeli settlers in this part of Syrian land.

In a statement on Saturday, the Bureau said that the meeting and the provocative plan indicate a dangerous escalation that violates the international law and the relevant UN resolutions, particularly Resolution No. 497 of 1981.

It reaffirmed that that all the measures taken or to be taken by Israel, the occupying force, to change the legal, material and demographic status and structure of the occupied Syrian Golan, as well as all the Israeli procedures, that aim at implementing the occupation's judicial authority and administration there, are null and void and of no legal effect.

Slovak parliamentarian Dr. Lubusch Blaha affirmed that the Israeli occupation entity's announcement of its intention to expand settlements in the occupied Syrian Golan constitutes a violation of international law.

Blaha said in a statement to a SANA reporter in Prague today, “This announcement shows the extent of the arrogance of the Israeli government and its expansionist intentions, which the whole world must condemn if international law and the values of national sovereignty and peace are to have weight.”

The Slovak parliamentarian criticized the West's tolerance and disregard for Israel's repeated breach of international law.
