Cuba Condemns USA's Recognition of Occupied Syrian Golan as Israeli Territory
- Cuban Ministry of Foreign Relations -
Demonstration in the occupied Golan Heights, March 23, rejecting
Trump's stand on the
Golan Heights.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
expresses its strongest condemnation of the declared intention by
the government of the United States to recognize the occupied
Syrian Golan as territory of Israel, which is a serious and
flagrant violation of the United Nations´ Charter, of
International Law, and of the pertinent Security Council
resolutions, particularly Resolution 497 of 1981.
This new manoeuver of Washington, which violates the
legitimate
interests of the Syrian people and of the Arab and Islamic
nations, will have serious consequences for stability and
security in the Middle East, and will further increase the
tensions in this volatile region.
Cuba urges the Security Council to fulfill the
responsibility
granted to it by the UN Charter to maintain international peace and
security, and to adopt the necessary
decisions to stop this unilateral action of the United States in
support of Israel in its intentions to annex the occupied Syrian
territory of the Golan Heights.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
will
continue to endorse the demand of the Syrian government for the
recovery of the Golan Heights, snatched away by Israel in 1967, and
once more demands the total and unconditional retreat of Israel
from the Syrian Golan and from all occupied Arab territories.
