Doha, Qatar has publicly expressed its disapproval of Colombia's decision to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that supporting the occupation's disregard for pertinent UN resolutions, specifically Security Council Resolution 497 of 1981, does not alter the reality that the Golan Heights is occupied Arab land.
The statement made on Tuesday underscores that imposing Israeli laws, jurisdiction, and administration on the Golan Heights is invalid and lacks legal effect.
The Qatari foreign ministry reiterated its steadfast commitment to the principle that the Golan Heights is occupied Arab territory. It urged Israel to adhere to international law and withdraw from all occupied Arab territories, including the Golan Heights. The ministry also cautioned that unilateral decisions recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights would pose a significant barrier to achieving peace in the region.
