Danon slams annual UN resolution calling on Israel to withdraw from Golan Heights

The United Nations General Assembly passes two resolutions calling for Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights, and from the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The body has introduced and passed such resolutions regularly over the years.

The resolution calling for an Israeli wthdrawal from the West Bank and East Jerusalem passes with 151 countries in favor, 11 against and 11 abstentions. The resolution on the Golan passes with 123 in favor, seven against and 41 abstentions. In both cases, Israel and the United States both voted against the resolutions.

The Golan resolution comes as efforts continue toward a security accord between Israel and Syria, from which Israel conquered the territory in the 1967 Six Day War. It later annexed the Golan.

UN Ambassador Danny Danon slams the resolution.

“The UN General Assembly once again proves how disconnected it is from reality,” he posts on X. “Instead of addressing the crimes of the Iranian axis and the dangerous activities of militias in Syria, it demands that Israel withdraw from the Golan Heights – a vital defense line that protects our citizens.”
