Ala: Restoring entirety of occupied Syrian Golan is a national priority and a right
Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN and other international organizations in Geneva Hussam Eddin Ala said that the destruction of cities and villages and the displacement of their occupants is the essence of the criminal policy adopted by Israel since the first day of its occupation of Palestine and the Syrian Golan.
Ala said Syria asserts that restoring the entirety of the occupied Syrian Golan up to the June 4 1967 line by all means provided by international law is a national priority and a right that is not subject to relinquishment or prescription.
Ala added the international community has been calling for the Israeli full withdrawal from the Occupied Syrian Golan till June 4th, 1967 line, in compliance with Security Council resolutions No. 242 for the year 1967 ,338 of 1973 and 497 of the year 1981 which affirmed that Israel’s resolution to impose its rules and judicial custody and administration on the Occupied Syrian Golan is considered as null and void and has no legal impact.

The council’s spokesperson Ahmad Jarba said the, “Kurdish units exploited the capabilities of the area, pushed local farmers to sell their harvest at prices that do not cover their expenses and barred local people from managing their own affairs.”
Jarba added that the “Kurdish units” adopted a policy of starving all constituents of the Jazeera and Euphrates regions, in order to drive them out of the region as they search for a life elsewhere, or to push them into taking actions they could not have foreseen. He warned against continuing these practices.
