Secretary General of the Arab League: Syria’s territorial integrity is enshrined in international law.
The Secretary General of the Arab League condemned the plan to develop Israeli settlements in the occupied Golan Heights of Syria, saying that Syria’s territorial integrity is enshrined in international law and cannot be negotiated.
Ahmed Abul Gheit, Secretary General of the Arab League, condemned the Zionist regime’s decision to expand the settlement in the occupied Syrian Golan with the aim of doubling its Zionist population in the coming years.
According to Russia Today, Abu al-Gheit stressed that the Zionist regime’s plans are a clear violation of international law, which declares the Golan to be part of Syrian territory, which was occupied in 1967.
He stressed that the recognition of the occupying regime by this or that country does not change the fact that this occupation has been rejected by the international community and has not been ratified by international law.
The Secretary General of the Arab League said: “Irrespective of the current situation in Syria and its situation in the Arab League, the regional integrity and territorial integrity of Syria have been established in international law and can not be negotiated or questioned.”
On the other hand, an official source in the Arab League Secretariat stated: The intention of the Israeli cabinet to build more than 7,000 housing units in the occupied Syrian Golan, shows the approach and agenda of this regime, which seeks a peaceful settlement based on the 1967 borders. It does not recognize it, but wants to expand settlements, both in the occupied West Bank and in the Golan.
The source added: “It is time for the international community to see the Israeli cabinet as a real obstacle to peace in the region.”
The Israeli cabinet approved a $ 317 million plan aimed at doubling the number of residents in the occupied Golan Heights and developing settlements there.
