Syria Strongly Condemns Israel’s Plan to Annex West Bank


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Syria’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned an Israeli plan to annex much of the occupied West Bank.

In a statement on Sunday, the ministry also roundly rejected statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to grab more Palestinian lands in the occupied region.

“These statements come in the context of the aggressive expansionist behavior of the usurping Zionist entity and its continuous violation and contempt for international legitimacy and its decisions regarding the legal status of the occupied lands especially after the Israeli decision regarding al-Quds and the occupied Syrian Golan,” the ministry said, according to SANA.

The Syrian government further called on the international community to take action and put an end to the Israeli and American arrogance and disdain of the international legitimacy, which constitutes a serious threat to security and stability in the region and the world.
