Damascus, (ST) – Syria  condemned the Israeli procedures in absolute terms in the Occupied Syrian Golan, re-affirming its unlimited support for its citizens in the Golan in their general strike and their rejection of the resolution of annexing Golan to the Israeli entity and the policy of seizing the lands and properties -a policy adopted by the occupation authorities.

In a statement about the Israeli crimes in the Occupied Syrian Golan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said that, “in the context of racist practices and systematic violations by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Syrian Arab citizens’ rights in the Occupied Syrian  Golan, some of which rise to the level of war crimes, the Israeli Occupation forces closed on Dec 7th a number the main entrances to the Golan villages and prevented their citizens from reaching their farms in the areas where the occupation seeks to establish  its colonial devastating project by setting up turbines in Majdal Shams ,Sheita, Baqaatha and Mas’ada” .

The ministry said that, the Syrian Arab Republic rejects and condemns the colonial practices of the Israeli occupation authorities and sees it as a clear violation of the rules of international law, the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, United Nations General Assembly resolutions, and Security Council Resolution No. 497 of 1981, thatconsidered the decision of “Israel” to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the Golan null and void.

The Ministry reiterated that Syria categorically condemns the Israeli practices and warns against implementing them, calling on the UN and the organizations of the Human Rights to confront the Israeli aggression on the rights of Golan locals and on Syria’s sovereignty over its lands and resources.

Syria also reiterates its unlimited support for its citizens in Golan in their general strike against the Israeli practices and their rejection of the decision of annexing Golan to the Israeli entity, the statement said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates affirmed that the occupied Syrian Golan is an integral part of the territories of the Syrian Arab Republic, and the government of the Syrian Arab Republic will work to fully restore it by all available means guaranteed by international law.

“Syria calls on the international community not to remain silent towards the systematic and inhumane violations committed by the Israel occupation which aims to consolidate its occupation of the Syrian Golan through changing the geographic and demographic, culture, security and political feature of the Occupied Syrian Golan.”, the Ministry concluded its statement.
