TEHRAN, Mar 22 - Trump announced on Thursday night the US recognition of the Israeli regime’s sovereignty over Syria’s Golan Heights territories.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Syria’s Foreign Ministry today on Friday strongly reacted to this claim of US president and condemned it, said a responsible official in the ministry.
The Syrian official news agency SANA also quoted from the very official, saying that Trumps claims again stressed indicted the US blind supporting of the Israeli occupation regime and its hostile behaviors.
Russia also lambasted Trump's announcement on Golan as direct violation of the international law.
"Russia, as you know, takes a principled position on the issue of the Syrian Arab Republic's ownership of the Golan Heights. This is confirmed by UN Security Council Resolution 497 of 1981. Our assessment of the unlawful nature of Israel's decision to extend its sovereignty to the Golan Heights remains unchanged, " Spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said.
"Changing the status of the Golan Heights bypassing the Security Council is in direct violation of UN decisions," she noted.
US President Donald Trump said it was time to back what he described as the Israeli regime's "sovereignty" over the Golan Heights, a Syrian territory under Israeli occupation since 1967.
"After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!" Trump said Thursday on Twitter.
In December 2017, Trump's recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's so-called capital touched off a wave of protests which continue to this day.
