UNGA calls on Israel to withdraw from Golan Heights

The United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution calling on Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights in a Tuesday vote.

Some 123 countries voted in favor of the resolution, seven voted against it, and 41 abstained from the vote.

Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said that the vote was a farce in a later post on X/Twitter.

"The General Assembly again proves how detached it is from reality. Instead of dealing with the crimes of the Iranian axis and the activity of militias in Syria, it demands that Israel withdraw from the Golan Heights, a vital defensive line that protects our citizens," he wrote.

This is a developing story.

Flashback from The White House March 25, 2019

The State of Israel took control of the Golan Heights in 1967 to safeguard its security from external threats. Today, aggressive acts by Iran and terrorist groups, including Hizballah, in southern Syria continue to make the Golan Heights a potential launching ground for attacks on Israel. Any possible future peace agreement in the region must account for Israel’s need to protect itself from Syria and other regional threats. Based on these unique circumstances, it is therefore appropriate to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim that, the United States recognizes that the Golan Heights are part of the State of Israel.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.

DONALD J. TRUMP
