RIYADH: Israel’s action to seize Syrian-held areas in an UN-patrolled buffer zone in the Golan Heights and its attacks on Syrian territory confirm continued Israeli violation of international law, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia said on Monday.
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA), cited a statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying that the assaults carried out by the Israeli occupation government, including the seizure of the buffer zone in the Golan Heights and the targeting of Syrian territories by Israeli occupation forces, affirm Israel’s continued violation of international law and its determination to undermine opportunities for Syria to restore its security, stability, and territorial integrity.
