Syrian President Demands Israeli Withdrawal from Golan Heights at UN
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad addressed the United Nations General Assembly, asserting that the Golan Heights will remain Syrian territory and that any Israeli annexation decisions are void.
Assad stated that Syria rejects Israeli attempts to impose a fait accompli and called for Israel to withdraw from Syrian land. He reaffirmed Syria's commitment to the 1974 disengagement agreement.
The Syrian president's remarks reiterate long-standing Syrian policy regarding the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War and later annexed, a move not recognized by the international community.
