The UN Security Council has rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that the annexed Golan Heights in Syria would “forever” remain under Israeli control.
The 15-member council agreed on Tuesday that the status of the Golan, which Israel seized from Syria in 1967, “remains unchanged,” Chinese Ambassador Liu Jieyi, who holds this month’s council presidency said.
Liu recalled a 1981 resolution which states that Israel’s “decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights was nul and void and without any international legal effect.”
Liu said that the Council members “expressed deep concern” over Netanyahu’s remarks from earlier this month that “the Golan Heights will remain in the hands of Israel forever.”
Israel’s response
Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon issued a statement rejecting the council complaint.
“Holding a meeting on this topic completely ignores the reality in the Middle East,” he said. “While thousands of people are being massacred in Syria, and millions of citizens have become refugees, the Security Council has chosen to focus on Israel, the only true democracy in the Middle East.”
“It’s unfortunate that interested parties are attempting to use the council for unfair criticism of Israel,” he added.
Netanyahu’s April 17 declaration came on the occasion of the first Israeli cabinet session on the Golan since the area was seized from Syria in a 1967 war and annexed in 1981.
Israel’s annexation of the Golan has never been recognised by the international community.
Past US-backed Israeli-Syrian peace efforts were predicated on a return of the Golan, where some 23,000 Israelis now live alongside roughly the same number of Druse Arabs loyal to Damascus. Liu said the council supported a negotiated arrangement to settle the issue of the Golan.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ROLMFAO!!!
Israel, a true democracy? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! What a MAROON!!!
Thank God Israel is a true Demon acracy.
Cause if they weren’t.
They’d be killing people …, committing genocide and stealing other peoples land.
They are definitely the chosen ones.
Yeah…
The chosen ones of Satan.
Ahhh, the UN. It “rejects” the claim that the Golan will forever remain in israeli control? If any other nation violated “international law” the way israel does what would happen? If other nations annexed, invaded, schemed, murdered and on and on like israel what would become of that nation at the hands of the UN and it’s troops and sanctions? But not israel. Talk is cheap. The UN is nothing but a zionist organization to gather the whole world into globalism and eliminate the sovereignty of every nation but israel and the talmudic world order.
You mean like when Iraq invaded Kuwait. If it had been Israel doing the invading, the US would have helped them.
Exactly. And on that note, people forget saddam invaded Kuwait with the approval of the US. He asked what americas position would be if he did, and April Glaspie (jew) told him america has no opinion on this and the affairs of the middle east are not theirs to determine. And then, gulf war to “liberate Kuwait from the evil saddam” who they supported and were allies with just literally hours before.it’s worth mentioning iraq was one of the listed nations in the oded yinon plan and the seven countries in five years. But I’m sure that’s got nothing to do with anything.
Maybe the UN should approve a total invasion and destruction of that fake ass state. Like Iraq and Libya.
“unfair criticism of Israel”. “My $hit don’t stink, what choo talking about”.
They are so F’N arrogant, do they even listen to how ridiculous they sound on the world stage?
“Yes, those sand niggers are on the land God said we can have, according to our highly insane beliefs.” “So we are ordained from God to kill those sand niggers and steal their land cause God said so.” “And if you argue with our insane beliefs, we’ll topple some buildings just to teach you a lesson”. “Any questions?” Those 28 missing pages ain’t talking about the Saudi’s involvement, we all know who the perpetrators are.
Just do what Norway is doing. Norway has declared: “We’ll give you $1000.00 to leave our country!” F’N joos, roll a dime across the border and they’ll leave.
