Syrian Citizens of Golan challenge Israel's expansion decision

The Syrian citizens of the occupied Golan condemned Israel's recent decision to expand settlement activities in the Golan, to double the number of settlers there, describing the Israeli hostile step as a contradiction to their aspirations and rights in freedom and liberation and the return of the Golan to the "motherland Syria."

In a statement they published on Saturday, the Syrian citizens said the Israeli decision is "a new crime committed against our Arab people, and reflects Israel's contempt of peace." They renewed the pledge that freedom and liberation would remain the symbol of struggle until the defeat of occupation.
