It added that Israel has yet to comply with Security Council Resolution 497, and emphasized that Israel\u2019s continued occupation and de facto annexation of the Golan remain a major obstacle to achieving a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement also underscored Syria\u2019s commitment to serious discussions on technical matters that affect its security and the security and stability of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday night, the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution\u2014titled \u201cThe Syrian Golan\u201d and submitted by Egypt on behalf of the Arab Group\u2014with 123 votes in favor, 7 against, and 41 abstentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resolution reaffirms the demand that Israel fully withdraw from the Golan to the June 4, 1967 line, in accordance with relevant Security Council resolutions, and rejects any unilateral measures related to the annexation of the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The text reiterates that Israel\u2019s continued application of its laws and jurisdiction over the Syrian Golan is illegal and in violation of Security Council Resolution 497 (1981), which declared such measures void with no legal effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Syria\u2019s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ibrahim Olabi, said the vote\u2014backed for the first time by 123 countries\u2014demonstrates that Syria remains firm in its right to the Golan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Malin Mohammed<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Syrian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that the significant rise in the number of countries voting in favor of a UN resolution on the \u201coccupied\u201d Golan Heights\u2014from 97 last year to 123 this year\u2014reflects growing support for Syria.
