Israel’s Military Presence in Golan Heights Violates 1974 Agreement, Says UN
The UN spokesperson declared that Israeli troops advancing into a buffer zone represent a violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed the annexation of the Golan Heights, stating it belongs to Israel ‘for eternity.’ This follows the recent fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Netanyahu ordered the army to take control of the area for security reasons, a move described by his Foreign Minister Gideon Saar as temporary. The UN confirmed the presence of Israeli forces in the separation zone.
