Syria vows to retake occupied Golan Heights by ‘all available means’
France, Germany, the EU, Russia and Iran condemn US President Donald Trump's decision to recognise the annexed land as part of Israel
SYRIA vowed to recover the occupied Golan Heights by “all available means” today after US President Donald Trump inflamed tensions by recognising Israel’s unilateral annexation of the region.
Damascus said the US actions “threaten the peace, security and stability of the Middle East and the world as a whole” and warned that the region is in crisis.
Syria’s Foreign Ministry has written to the UN secretary-general and security council regarding the “dangerous and irresponsible statements” made by Mr Trump regarding the occupied Syrian land.
