‘Syria Will Never Agree to Israeli Occupation of Golan Heights’

Al-Manar | April 27, 2018

Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Bashar al-Jaafari has once again reiterated Damascus’ adherence to the pre-June 1967 line, re-establishing borders from before the Six Day War, stressing that the country’s sovereign right on the occupied Golan Heights is non-negotiable, and the territory captured by the Zionist entity should be completely restored.

During a UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East situation, the UN envoy said some UNSC member-states have opted for a selective approach and the double standards policy, indulging in empty talk about international law, human rights, and the inalienable principles of the UN Charter.

At the same time, these member states turn a blind eye to the Israeli occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights, al-Jaafari said.

“Where have those states and their talk about counterterrorism and the international humanitarian law been when Syrian citizens were arrested and arbitrarily taken to Israeli jails, just as what happened to Sudqi al-Maqt, who was re-arrested because of his audio and video documentation of the close cooperation between the Israeli occupation forces and the Daesh and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organizations,” al-Jaafari said during the meeting.

He proceeded to say that the United States has always protected the Zionist entity, granting it immunity, despite the fact that Tel Aviv has consistently violated UNSC resolutions, demanding that the pre-June 1967 status quo be restored.

The Syrian official also denounced Israeli policies towards the Palestinians, recalling the recent developments in Gaza and the West Bank.

Concluding his speech, the UN representative called on the UNSC to take urgent measures against the occupation regime, demand that it stop its aggression and force Tel Aviv to abide by resolutions 242, 338, and 497, stipulating the liberation of Arab territories from its occupation, including the Golan Heights, withdrawing to the pre-June 1967 line.

  1. What Bashar Al-Jaafari says is perfectly sensible and logical, however, whilst the USA casts a blind eye over the injustice of it all, nothing is going to change. It is the USA which is the problem, because Israel controls the USAs Foreign Policy. And, of course, while the Richest man in the World, and his partners Rupert Murdoch and Dick Cheney hold the “rights” to the Golan Heights oil and gas reserves via “Genie Oil”, NOTHING is going to change.
    The United Nations has no teeth.

    • Zionists have numerous aims in stealing the Golan Heights. Land, water, and as there seems to be oil practically everywhere they lay claim to that as well. From the Golan Heights they can threaten Syria militarily, and launch illegal aggression as it suits them also.

      At minimum, their presence serves as a demonstration of the fact that they are above the law.
