Statement

The Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Iraq strongly condemns and denounces the Israeli occupation government’s decision to expand its settlement policy in the occupied Syrian Golan, which represents a blatant violation of international law and United Nations resolutions.

The Ministry reiterates Iraq’s firm and supportive position on the rights of Syria to restore its full sovereignty over its territories, and stresses that the Golan is an occupied Syrian land and that any measures aimed at changing its legal and demographic status are null and void.

The Foreign Ministry calls on the international community to take a firm stance to condemn the continued violations of the Israeli entity, and to work seriously to protect the unity and sovereignty of Syrian lands, and to ensure the security and stability of the region.
