New York-Sana

Russia has expressed its concern about Israel's plans to build new settlement units in the occupied Syrian Golan, stressing its adherence to Syrian sovereignty and that the Golan is an inseparable part of the territory.

Russia Today quoted the Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyansky, as saying during the UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday: “We are increasingly concerned about the recently announced plans to expand Israeli settlements in the occupied Golan.” The construction of the announced settlement units in 2020, and even the construction of two new settlements.”

Polyansky stressed that Israel's doubling of the number of Israelis in the occupied Golan contradicts the Geneva Convention of 1949.

At today's Security Council session, Syria reiterated its firm adherence to its right to recover the entire occupied Golan by all available means guaranteed by international law, stressing that all measures of the Israeli occupation to change its features or impose its mandate on it are null and void and have no legal effect under international law and United Nations resolutions.

It is noteworthy that the United Nations stresses in its resolutions the necessity of the complete withdrawal of the Israeli occupation entity from the occupied Syrian Golan to the line of June 4, 1967, the most recent of which were the two resolutions adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on the ninth of this month.
