GCC Secretary-General Condemns Colombia’s Recognition of Israeli Sovereignty over the Occupied Syrian Golan

Riyadh, August 11 (KUNA) -- The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jassem Al-Budaiwi, expressed his strongest condemnation on Tuesday of the Colombian government’s recognition of Israeli occupation forces’ sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

In a press statement, Al-Budaiwi said this recognition contravenes all international laws and treaties that affirm the Golan Heights is Arab Syrian land occupied by Israel.

He reiterated that any decisions and recognitions that do not align with the reality and truth grounded in international and UN resolutions are unacceptable and undermine peace and security efforts in the region.

He called on the Colombian government to withdraw this invalid recognition, emphasizing the necessity for Israel to comply with resolutions of international legitimacy by withdrawing from all occupied Arab territories, including the Golan Heights.

Al-Budaiwi reaffirmed the GCC states’ firm and supportive stance toward the Syrian Arab Republic, standing by its side to safeguard its sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, including the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, and its firm rejection of any measures or violations that would infringe upon Syria’s sovereignty or diminish its territorial unity.
