UN demands Israel fully withdraw from Syria's Golan

UN General Assembly has demanded Israel to fully withdraw from the occupied Syrian Golan to the line of June 4th 1967 in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions.

The assembly said in a resolution adopted during its session held Thursday that Israel refused to implement any UN resolution including resolution no 497 which stipulates total withdrawal from the Syrian Golan.

"Occupying the Syrian Golan and imposing the Israeli will and laws there are null and totally illegitimate," the resolution said.

The assembly called upon all involved parties to resume the peace process in the region, and Israel to resume negotiations on the Syrian and Lebanese tracks and to respect all commitments reached during the last negotiations held between the two sides.

The UN.General Assembly expressed deep concern over Israel's reluctance to pull out of the Syrian Golan, "violating the international legitimacy as well as the UN resolutions." The majority of the General Assembly members stressed in the resolution that building Israeli settlements or carrying out other activities on Golan's land are considered illegitimate.
