Syria Condemns Occupation Government over Holding Provocative Meeting in Occupied Syrian Golan
DAMASCUS, (ST)-The Syrian Arab Republic has condemned the Israeli occupation government’s behavior of holding a provocative meeting in the occupied Syrian Golan and stressed that the meeting is categorically void, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement on Sunday.
Addressing the UN Chief and President of the Security Council in two identical letters, the ministry said “Syria condemns in the strongest terms the provocative behavior of the Israeli occupation government represented in holding its cabinet meeting in the occupied Syrian Golan.”
“The meeting is categorically void’, the ministry added, urging the United Nations and the Security Council to immediately interfere as to condemn holding this irresponsible meeting and ask the occupation government not to repeat such behavior, particularly because it is done on an occupied Syrian territory.
According to the ministry, Syria urges the United Nations and the international community to shoulder their responsibility as to implement the UN Security Council resolutions, particularly resolution No. 497 for 1981 which declared that the ill-famed Israeli Knesset’s Golan Heights Law, which annexed the Golan Heights, is null and void and without international legal effect and it further called on Israel to rescind its action.
The ministry added that “Syria, which stresses the determination of its people to combat terrorism and defeat the terrorist organizations backed by Israel, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, will spare no effort as to liberate the occupied Syrian Golan and uncover the illegitimate policies of the Israeli authorities there.”
The ministry also called on the international community to condemn all forms of Israeli terrorism against the people of occupied Golan and against the territorial integrity of Syria, stressing that such Israeli terrorist practices threaten security and stability in the region and the entire world.
