Israeli desire to build further colonies in the occupied Golan Heights has drawn criticism from a series of Arab regional nations including Egypt, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Israel’s plot was referred to by the Arab nations as a infringement of the UN Charter and Syrian integrity.
The Arab nations emphasized the risks of escalating regional hostilities in their own comments. They called on the global society to defend Syrian safety and its sovereignty and disapprove Israel’s conduct.
They reiterated their support for Syria’s independence. The Arab countries demanded that global efforts be made to bring about security, order and the realization of the goals of the Syrian popular uprising.
Following the approval of a proposal by the Israeli administration to encourage the growth of settlement constructions in the occupied Golan Heights, the remarks by “Arab brothers” were made.
The Israeli prime minister described the action as essential following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s government by Islamist insurgents last week. The International Criminal Court wants to prosecute Benjamin Netanyahu for suspected crimes against humanity and criminal acts in Palestinian lands.
The Israeli initiative was also condemned by Riyadh. According to Saudi Arabia, the move is a part of the continuous destruction of chances to bring peace and safety back to the region.
The administration’s request that the world denounce these Israeli transgressions was reaffirmed by the Saudi foreign ministry. The kingdom emphasized how crucial it is to uphold Syria’s autonomy and sovereignty. Additionally, the government reiterated that the Golan Heights are still Arab Syrian land under occupation.
Iraq also denounced the settlement program in the occupied Golan Heights and the Israeli actions. In an announcement released on Sunday, the Iraqi foreign ministry reiterated that the Golan Heights were part of Syria. “Null and illegitimate” is how Baghdad described its efforts to change its official or sociological standing.
The Iraqi foreign ministry called on the world to denounce the Israeli continuous transgressions. Baghdad also demanded that significant steps be taken to safeguard Syria’s independence and stability.
The Arab World Reacts
The Israeli strategy, according to Egyptian foreign ministry, is an attempt to impose a fait accompli strategy. Egypt sees that as evidence that Israel does not have a determination to bring about a fair solution in the area.
According to a Cairo statement, Israel’s changing population, settlement growth, and annexation of Arab territories amount to a obvious breach of international legislation. Cairo called on the UN Security Council and powerful international players to denounce these infringements of Syrian integrity. Additionally, Egypt called for steps to end Israeli expansionist strategies.
The foreign department of the United Arab Emirates also denounced the Israeli action. Such measures raise the possibility increasing violence and instability in the area, Abu Dhabi said. The United Arab Emirates reiterated its support for Syria’s autonomy, cohesion, and sovereignty over its territory. The UAE’s “complete rejection” of any actions intended to change the occupied Golan Heights’ legal position was also stated by the ministry.
The Israeli plan was also denounced by Qatar, which called it just another in a string of its attacks on Syrian territory. The world society was urged by Qatari diplomatic officials to take on its ethical and legal obligations. Qatar has traditionally supported Syria’s independence, common cause, and safety, the ministry reiterated.
