EU Nations Unanimously Reject Trump’s Golan Decision

By Staff- Agencies

The European Union on Wednesday issued a statement declaring its “unanimous position” that the Golan Heights remains “occupied”, rejecting the United States’ decision to recognize Golan as “Israeli”.

The position of the European Union as regards the status of the Golan Heights has not changed,” the 28-member bloc said in a statement.

“In line with international law and UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 497, the European Union does not recognize “Israeli” sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights.”

Damascus immediately slammed the move as a "blatant attack on Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity" and requested that the United Nations Security Council hold an urgent meeting to discuss the policy shift

A number of EU nations independently rejected the move, including heavyweights France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
