'Provocative and Blatant Violation': Syria Condemns Netanyahu's Entry Into Its Territory
Syria and Jordan said the visit violated sovereignty as Kuwait urged the United Nations Security Council to stop Israeli incursions.
- On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Mount Hermon accompanied by Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, surveying the Syrian Golan Heights on the eve of the Jewish New Year.
- Netanyahu claimed Israel established "absolute control" over the area stretching from Mount Hermon toward the Yarmouk River, stating Israel would not allow "terrorist forces" near its borders.
- The Syrian Foreign Ministry denounced the visit as an "illegal entry" and a "flagrant violation" of Syria's sovereignty, warning that continued incursions represent an escalation undermining regional stability.
- Kuwait condemned the visit on Thursday, urging the Security Council to halt attacks on the Arab country's sovereignty while reaffirming its "full support" for Syria; Jordan's Foreign Ministry called it a "blatant breach" of international law.
- Diplomatic calls emphasized the 1974 Agreement on Disengagement of Forces, which Syria urged Israel to respect, while Israel's 1981 annexation of the Golan Heights remains unrecognized by the international community.
