Dispute Erupts Over Syrian Golan Heights
The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed that the occupied Golan Heights are an integral part of Syrian territory, rejecting Colombia's recognition of "Israeli sovereignty" over the region. It pointed out that Bogotá's stance constitutes a violation of international law and UN resolutions, particularly Security Council Resolution 497 issued in 1981, which rejects Israel's imposition of its laws on the Golan. The ministry revealed that the number of countries supporting the General Assembly's resolution on Golan increased from 97 in 2024 to 123 in 2025, reflecting the international community's support for Syria's right to reclaim its occupied lands. Damascus emphasized its continued diplomatic and legal efforts to assert Syrian sovereignty and work towards the return of the occupied territories.
