Arab league strongly condemned President Trump announcement

ISLAMABAD - US President Donald Trump has said the United States should acknowledge Israeli sovereignty over the hotly-contested Golan Heights.

In a tweet message, he said it is now time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability.

Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has, in a statement, strongly condemned President Trump’s announcement and said it is completely beyond international law.

He said the Arab League stands fully behind the Syrian right to its occupied land.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has said a change in the status of Golan Heights would be a direct violation of United Nations decisions.
