At the special meeting of the UN security Council for the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan heights, the United States has been isolated to a large extent. The Syrian emissary denounced the German Ambassador.
In one at least of the UN security Council majority is in agreement. The American recognition of the Golan heights as Israeli territory was a unilateral violation of International law, breach of binding UN resolutions.
The German Ambassador to the UN, Christoph Heusgen said, security interests, so there it was, right no annexation justified. South Africa’s UN Ambassador Jerry Matjila said: “This unilateral action contributes nothing to find a long-term peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East.” The security Council had scheduled the emergency meeting at the request of Syria.
Earlier, the Pentagon had made Jonathan R. Cohen at the special session in New York as well as US Secretary of state Mike Pompeo in Washington realized that the U.S. government understand the recognition of the 1981 Israel annexed the Golan heights as Israeli territory as a contribution, the making of peace in the Middle East more likely. The step of eliminating ambiguity as to continue to be safe, so Pompeo.
The permanent representative of Germany to the UN, Heusgen. The Syrian Regime is torturing their own people, kill and violate international law, he said.
“Profoundly cynical”
In the two-hour special session of the UN escalated the Situation, after, among other things, Heusgen of Syria had referred to the request for the special meeting as cynical. The Syrian Regime is torturing their own people, kill and violate international law by committing war crimes, he said. Other now a violation of international law to reproach, to be abysmally cynical, Heusgen.
Syrian UN Ambassador Bashar Jaafari denounced then the German representative. He said, Heusgen had brought shame on Germany. In addition, the Syrians reminded of Nazi Germany, which had been for the deaths of 85 million people. Syria, by contrast, is a founding member of the UN.
The Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon, in turn, justify the recognition of the Golan heights by the United States and said that the Golan will belong forever to Israel. The Syrian Ambassador, the Israeli, should be ashamed of themselves. “Where were you when your government gassed children, as their government’s barrel bombs on his own people threw,” Danon addressed the Syrian representative.
