New York, SANA-The United Nations reiterated its call for Israel to comply with the international legitimacy resolutions, including the ones pertaining to the occupied Syrian Golan that have declared Israel\u2019s laws and mandate null and void.<\/p>\n
This came during a session in which the UN General Assembly\u2019s Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization) adopted a draft resolution titled \u201cThe Syrian Golan\u201d which has won the support of the overwhelming majority of member states.<\/p>\n
The resolution presses Israel to revoke its decision to annex the Golan, considering all procedures and administrative measures, current or prospective, to alter the nature of the Syrian Golan and its legal status null and void and constitute a grave violation of international law.<\/p>\n
The resolution also urges Israel to desist from imposing the Israeli nationality and ID cards on the Syrian people in Golan and to cease its repressive measures there.<\/p>\n
Syria\u2019s Permanent Representative to the UN Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari thanked the countries that voted in favor of the resolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again, the member states send an unequivocal message to Israel, the de facto occupying force, to end its occupation of all Arab lands and refrain from violating human rights and the international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention.\u201d<\/p>\n
Al-Jaafari considered that passing the resolution, that was put forth by 38 countries, by an overwhelming majority to be an indication that members states oppose Israel\u2019s occupation of the Golan and its attempts to annex it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is no secret that Israel\u2019s violation of the international law is twofold: Not only did Israel occupy the Syrian Golan, but it has passed random laws to annex it in a grave, provocative move reminiscent of dark chapters that date back to the early years of World War II,\u201d al-Jaafari added.<\/p>\n
He indicated that Israel has become an overt sponsor of takfiri terrorism that has forced the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) forces from their positions in the occupied Golan and abducted their personnel, citing a recent report by the UN Secretary General that established Israel\u2019s involvement with Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s voting against the resolution carries big connotations in which, al-Jaafari said, Israel gets across a message that it \u201chas no truck with the international consensus, United Nations or international law.\u201d<\/p>\n
