Pakistan strongly condemns Israeli aggression against Syria & seizure of the Syrian territory

ISLAMABAD, Dec 10 (SABAH): Pakistan has condemned in the strongest possible terms, Israeli aggression against Syria and its illegal seizure of the Syrian territory.

According to a statement issued by Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, this assault on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria is a grave breach of international law.

FO spokesperson said that we reaffirm our support for the UN Security Council Resolution 497, which declares Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights “null and void and without international legal effect.”

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch we urge the international community, including the United Nations Security Council, to take immediate and decisive steps to end Israeli impunity, its repeated violations of international law, and aggression against countries of the region.

She said that Pakistan also reiterates that peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved without complete Israeli withdrawal from Occupied Palestine and other occupied territories, including the Syrian Golan.
