UN rebuffs Netanyahu claim on Golan ownership
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN Security Council rejects Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion that the Golan Heights will “forever” remain under Israeli control.
The 15-member council agrees that the status of the Golan, which Israel captured from Syria during the 1967 Six Day War, “remains unchanged,” says Chinese Ambassador Liu Jieyi, who holds this month’s council presidency.
The council statement follows remarks made by Netanyahu earlier this month when his cabinet held its first meeting on the plateau.
Council members “expressed deep concern” over the Israeli statements and “stressed that the status of the Golan remains unchanged,” says Liu.
