UN asks Israel to leave Golan Heights

Wednesday 4-December-2019

The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution demanding Israel to leave the Syrian Golan Heights.

According to media sources 91 countries voted in favor of the resolution 9 voted against and 65 abstained.

The resolution calls on Israel to withdraw from all occupied Syrian territory in the Golan until the border set on 4 June 1967 in implementation of the UN Security Council resolution in this regard.

The UN General Assembly further described the legislation issued on 14 December 1981 through which Israel extended its law to the area of Golan Heights as “null and void.”

The United Nations had previously demanded by a majority vote that Israel leave the Occupied Golan Heights.
