Likud opposes withdrawal from the Golan

The Israeli government secretary Danny Naveh has renewed the rejection of his government under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to implementing UN resolutions concerning the occupied Syrian Golan Heights or the occupied West Bank.

Naveh criticized the Labor Party under the pretext that it had earlier agreed to return to June 4, 1967 lines. He stressed that the Labor government under the leadership of former Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres had agreed to withdraw from the occupied Golan Heights to the lake of Tabaraya.

He repeated the Likud's opposition to what he called returning any territories to the Palestinians in the West Bank or permitting them to establish a Palestinian state on any part of the West Bank or recognizing any partial sovereignty for the Palestinians over East Jerusalem.
