No: 250, 10 December 2024, Regarding Israel’s Ongoing Occupation in Syrian Territories
Ankara, Turkey – The Republic of Türkiye, in accordance with its unwavering commitment to international law and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, strongly condemns Israel’s ongoing occupation of Syrian territories, a blatant violation of international law and humanitarian principles.
For decades, Israel has illegally occupied the Syrian Golan Heights, a strategically important region that was seized by Israeli forces during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. This occupation has resulted in the displacement of thousands of Syrian civilians, the confiscation of their property, and the suppression of their fundamental rights.
The international community has repeatedly called on Israel to end its occupation of the Golan Heights and withdraw its forces from the region. The United Nations Security Council has passed numerous resolutions, including Resolution 497 (1981), which declared the Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights “null and void” and called for its immediate withdrawal.
Despite these resolutions, Israel continues to violate international law by maintaining its occupation. It has established illegal settlements in the Golan Heights, exploited its natural resources, and imposed restrictions on the movement and access of Syrian civilians.
The ongoing occupation of the Golan Heights not only violates the rights of the Syrian people but also destabilizes the region and undermines regional peace and security. It serves as a source of tension and conflict, and hinders efforts to achieve a just and lasting settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Republic of Türkiye calls upon the international community to take swift and concrete action to end Israel’s illegal occupation of the Golan Heights. As a responsible member of the international community, Turkey stands ready to support efforts aimed at achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East, based on the principles of justice, equity, and the respect for international law.
In conclusion, the Republic of Türkiye reiterates its strong condemnation of Israel’s ongoing occupation of Syrian territories. It calls upon the international community to act decisively to end this illegal occupation and to hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law and humanitarian principles.
