Riyadh, December 10, 2024 – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia has issued a strong statement condemning the recent actions of the Israeli government, highlighting the continued violations of international law and the negative impact on regional stability. The statement specifically addresses the Israeli occupation’s assault on the buffer zone in the Golan Heights and its aggressive military operations targeting Syrian territories.
The Ministry emphasized that these actions underscore Israel’s persistent disregard for international law, reflecting a broader pattern of behavior aimed at destabilizing the region. By seizing territory in the Golan Heights and continuing to target Syrian land, Israel is undermining Syria’s efforts to restore its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, according to the Saudi statement. These violations are seen as efforts to thwart any possibility of peace and stability for Syria, particularly as the nation works to rebuild after years of conflict.
In light of these ongoing actions, Saudi Arabia called on the international community to take a firm stance in condemning Israel’s violations. The Kingdom emphasized the importance of reaffirming Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, urging nations around the world to recognize the Golan Heights as an integral part of Syrian Arab land, which has been illegally occupied by Israel for decades.
The Kingdom’s statement reflects Saudi Arabia’s commitment to supporting Syria’s rights under international law and to advocating for a just and peaceful resolution to the conflict. Saudi Arabia continues to call for a unified international response that upholds the principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty, and respect for international agreements, which are fundamental to achieving long-term peace and stability in the region.
