Syrian President Reaffirms Claim Over Golan Heights at UN Assembly
At the UN General Assembly, Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa reaffirmed Syria's claim over the Golan Heights, calling for Israeli withdrawal and rejecting Israel's annexation of the territory captured in 1967. He cited UN resolutions and international law supporting Syria's sovereignty, while Israel maintains the area is part of its state. Al-Sharaa also highlighted increased Israeli military actions in southern Syria since he took power. The Golan Heights remains a strategic plateau with significant military and water resource importance.
