Syria requests urgent UN Security Council meeting on Golan

Al Jazeera  

Syria says the US decision to recognise the Golan Heights as Israeli territory contravenes international law. Syria is calling on the United Nations Security Council to hold an urgent meeting on the US decision to recognise the Golan Heights as Israeli territory. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Monday in which the United States recognised Israel’s annexation of the strategic plateau, despite UN resolutions recognising the Golan as Israeli-occupied territory. 190325153937336 In a letter seen by AFP, the Syrian mission to the United Nations asked the council presidency, held by France, to schedule an urgent meeting to “discuss the situation in the occupied Syrian Golan and the recent flagrant violation of the relevant Security Council’s resolution by a permanent member-state.” The French presidency did not immediately schedule the meeting and diplomats said there would be a discussion at the council about the request. US Acting Ambassador Jonathan Cohen told a council meeting on the Middle East that Washington had made the decision to stand up to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iran.
