Statement

The Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Iraq condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli entity’s seizure of the buffer zone with the Syrian Arab Republic in the Golan and its neighboring lands and stresses that this action represents a blatant violation of international law and the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy.

The Ministry underlines the importance of respecting Syria’s sovereignty, preserving its stability, unity and territorial integrity, and the need to refrain from any interference in its internal affairs. 

The Ministry also calls on the international community especially the Security Council to assume its responsibilities in condemning this blatant aggression and taking the necessary measures to put an end to these violations that exploit the current situation in the Syrian Arab Republic.
