Syria demands immediate Israeli withdrawal from its territory

Damascus, Jan 21 (Prensa Latina) Qusay al-Dahhak, Syria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, called on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Tuesday to take urgent steps to force Israel to withdraw immediately from the occupied Syrian territories.

Al-Watan newspaper reported that the diplomat made this remark during a UNSC meeting dedicated to the situation of the UN forces in Lebanon and the occupied Syrian Golan.

Al-Dahhak stated that the Israeli military incursions violate Syria’s sovereignty and breach relevant international resolutions, adding that this is unacceptable and unjustifiable.

This international body in charge of security must assume its responsibility to end the Israeli aggressions against the Syrian territory and people and adopt immediate measures to ensure respect for the United Nations Charter and International Law.

The International Organization had considered that the presence of the Israeli forces and their activities in building military sites and fortifications inside the buffer zone in the occupied Syrian Golan was a violation of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.

Since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s government on December 8, Israel has destroyed nearly 80 percent of the Syrian army’s military capabilities and expanded its occupation of the territory, including the buffer zone and the strategic Mount Hermon site.
