Since the first day of Israel’s occupation of the Syrian Golan in 1967, women have engaged in the battle of steadfastness and peaceful resistance against occupation that has practiced inhuman and suppressive acts against Golan people.

This is what the Syrian Lawyer and Women’s right activist Rasha Alhalah said during an interview with the Syria Times e-newspaper about Syrian Golan women’s role in confronting occupation.

Mrs. Alhalah made it clear that the struggle of Syrian women in the Israeli occupied Golan manifested in preserving national identity and clinging to the land in order to confront the Zionist military rule.  

“Golan women, who are one of the strongest Syrian women, have brought up their children and educated them to be patriotic to their homeland, and they have enhanced family relations. They have played a pivotal role at economic, social and political levels. They played key national and political role as they took part in protest and secret struggle against occupation forces despite being arrested and killed by Zionist entity,” the lawyer emphasized.

NEW YORK- The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution on the permanent sovereignty of the Syrians over the occupied Syrian Golan natural resources.

The resolution was adopted based on the recommendations of the Second Committee (Economic and Financial) as 159 states voted in favor of the resolution and only 7 states voted against it while 13 states abstained from voting, according to SANA.

Through its resolution, the General Assembly reaffirmed the inalienable rights of the Syrians in the occupied Syrian Golan to sovereign over their natural resources including the land, water and energy resources.

OCCUPIED SYRIAN GOLAN – The people of the occupied Syrian Golan reiterated their rejection of all plans by the Israeli occupation to Judaize their land and displace them, particularly the recent wind turbines project that the occupation intends to implement on their farmlands, SANA reported.

The locals affirmed that they reject building the turbines as they will have a very negative impact on agriculture, the environment, and livestock, particularly since 60% of them rely on cultivating apples and cherries, and the turbines are a big threat to their crops.

NEW YORK, (ST)- Syria stresses its nonnegotiable and unwavering right to sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan to the June 4^th 1967, Acting charge d’affairs of Syria’s Permanent Delegation at the UN Munzer Munzer has underscored, affirming that the occupied Syrian lands and usurped rights will entirely return to Syria and that Israel and the Israeli settlers must leave the occupied Golan sooner or later.

The hero Sudqi al-Maqt is an example to be followed by all freedom fighters all over the world. Al-Maqt has been defying all the racist oppressive measures  taken by the Israeli forces of occupation with the aim of bringing him to his knees and end his resistance, steadfastness and loyalty to his people and homeland.  The Zionist regime has aggravated its repressive measures against al-Maqt and his colleagues, because of his role in disclosing the relationship between the armed terrorist groups operating in Syria and the Zionist entity and the unlimited support offered by the Israeli government to terrorists, especially weapons and medical equipment. The new unfair sentence against the Syrian prisoner al-Maqt is the subsequent of his role in unveiling the involvement of the Israeli occupation authorities in providing arms, health services and financial support to the armed terrorist groups, particularly Jabhat al-Nusra, in Syria.

On October 9^th, 2018, the so-called Israeli High Court of Justice issued a verdict which supports al-Jalil Court’s sentence of 14-years imprisonment against the dean of the Syrian and Arab detainees in the Israeli jails, Sudqi al-Maqt, from Majdal Shams town in the occupied Syrian Golan who was re-detained by the Israeli authorities on February 25th, 2015, after he had already spent 27 years in Israeli prisons without any moral or legal justification.

The sentence constitutes a new legal scandal to be added to Israeli entity’s long record of war crimes and violations of the international law and the international humanitarian law and international human rights law as well as the UN Security Council Resolution No. 497 which prevents Israeli entity from taking punitive measures against the Syrians in the occupied Syrian Golan.
