Syria decries Colombia’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over occupied Golan Heights

Syria has strongly condemned Colombia’s recognition of what it termed “Israeli sovereignty” over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, calling the move a violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions. In a statement on Tuesday, the Syrian foreign ministry denounced Colombia’s August 10 declaration recognising Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan based on what it described as security pretexts inconsistent with international law.
