People’s Assembly: Occupation’s settlement plans in the Golan are null and a violation of international law

Damascus (ST): The People’s Assembly condemned the new settlement plans of the Israeli occupation entity in the occupied Syrian Golan, stressing that they constitute a flagrant violation of international resolutions.

A statement issued by the Assembly  stated, “We condemn in the strongest terms the Zionist settlement plan, which aims to build more settlement units, in addition to infrastructure and other projects over the next five years, through which the occupation forces aim to attract new batches of Zionist settlers to double their numbers and settle them on the occupied Syrian Golan.”

The Assembly affirmed that these Zionist actions and practices are an extension of the series of repeated attacks against our people in the occupied Syrian Golan in desperate attempts to change its demographic and geographic structure and in flagrant and clear violation of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy, especially Security Council Resolution No. 497 of 1981 in which the measures of the occupation government, namely  imposing its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the occupied Syrian Arab Golan are considered null and void and have no legal or legitimate effect, in addition to the subsequent resolutions issued by the Human Rights Council and the relevant resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, which condemn the actions of the occupying power.

The Assembly expressed strong rejection and denunciation of these criminal measures against our people in the occupied Syrian Golan, stressing once again that every grain of the precious Golan is an integral part of the homeland.
