Five European Union countries represented on the UN Security Council condemned US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, reported Anadolu on 27 March.
The Golan Heights are not Israeli territories and their forcible seizure in 1967 is in contradiction with the norms of international law.
This is stated in a joint statement by France, the United Kingdom (permanent members of the United Nations Security Council), Belgium, Germany and Poland (non-permanent members of the Security Council). The statement notes that the five European countries consider that Israeli sovereignty on the Syrian Golan Heights is not recognized. The document emphasizes the inadmissibility of attempts at unilateral forced border review, which contradicts the Charter of the United Nations.
"The annexation of the Golan Heights by Israel will cause even more serious problems in the region," the statement said.
Comme l'a rapporté l'agence de presse, à la veille du 26 mars, les autorités syriennes ont lancé un appel à l'ONU pour qu'il convoque une réunion d'urgence du Conseil de sécurité de l'organisation mondiale en raison de la décision des États-Unis de reconnaître le plateau du Golan comme territoire d'Israël. À l'heure actuelle, la France préside le Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies, qui doit déterminer la date de la réunion.
As the news agency reported, on the eve of March 26, the Syrian authorities appealed to the UN to convene an emergency meeting of the Security Council because of the United States decision to recognize the Golan Heights as Israel's territory. France currently chairs the United Nations Security Council, which has to determine the date of the meeting.
Turkey, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the League of Arab States, the European Union and even the closest military-political allies of the United States of America and Europe - Canada and the United Kingdom - expressed their negative attitude towards the recognition of the Golan by the United States.
Why did Trump decide to recognize the Golan Heights as Israel's land? American political scientist Andrew Korybko believes that Trump's recognition of the Golan Heights as part of Israel is his gesture to Tel Aviv, seeking support from the pro-Israel lobby in the United States in future elections.
It turns out that Trump, in order to obtain political preferences, puts the United States in a bad position. After all, it's clear that Washington has a double standard, without paying attention to the views of other countries or even its allies. Subsequently, this will lead to a decrease in US authority on the international scene and perhaps even to isolation. View attachment 67253686
This is fantastic, now we just need recognition of Judea and Samaria and we're off to a good start.
I suggest allowing it only if they first convert to Judaism and reject all other religions. Meaning a real conversion to become a practicing Jew, not a superficial conversion.Would you be in favor of non Jewish residents of these territories getting the vote once they are incorporated into Israel?
The Golan Heights are very much Israeli territory now. Syria doesn't even exist as a functioning country anymore.The Golan Heights are not Israeli territories and their forcible seizure in 1967 is in contradiction with the norms of international law.
This is stated in a joint statement by France, the United Kingdom (permanent members of the United Nations Security Council), Belgium, Germany and Poland (non-permanent members of the Security Council).
I don't see any problems."The annexation of the Golan Heights by Israel will cause even more serious problems in the region," the statement said.
Not really.puts the United States in a bad position.
Are these the same allies who didn't pay attention to our concerns over unilateral UN recognition of the Palestinian Authority?it's clear that Washington has a double standard, without paying attention to the views of other countries or even its allies.
Not really.this will lead to a decrease in US authority on the international scene and perhaps even to isolation.

It doesn't look like American "authority" has counted for anything toward peace in the region. How can zero effectiveness be undermined?
The Palestinians have never accepted any proposals from Israel or the US. The two state solution with land give backs has been offered to the Palestinians several times and it is always rejected.
Now Trump whacks them up beside the head. Maybe they'll realize that they need to make a deal before they lose it all.
This is fantastic, now we just need recognition of Judea and Samaria and we're off to a good start.
However, perhaps the Palestinian state can be centered on the Gaza Strip, and non-Jewish voters in the West Bank could be allowed to vote in Gazan elections.
