Syrian Ambassador to the UN Bashar Jaafari has written to the Security Council to demand that it upholds resolutions demanding an Israeli withdrawal from Golan.
Jaafari also asked secretary-general Antonio Guterres to reaffirm the UN position on Israel’s occupation of the Golan.
Syrian Ambassador Bashar Jaafari urged the council to “take practical measures to ensure that the council is fulfilling … its mandate in the implementation of its resolutions” concerning the Golan, in a letter seen by AFP. Trump broke with decades of US Middle East policy when he posted a Tweet on Thursday that said it was time to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan.
Asked about Trump’s stance, UN spokesman Farhan Haq said UN policy was based on council resolutions and those of the General Assembly on the status of the Golan.The United States backed Resolution 242 adopted in 1967, which calls on Israel to withdraw from territories it occupied in the Six-Day war and refers to the “inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war”.
