Bassil: Lebanon, Arabs in Accord on Invalidation of U.S. Decision over Ghajar
Following the US decision recognizing the sovereignty of Israel over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil reiterated on Saturday that Lebanon rejects the US decision and “the Arab states agree” with him.
“Lebanon proposes and the Arabs agree: reject the US decision over Golan Heights and consider it null and void,” said Bassil in a Tweet, adding that the decision “violates the UN Charter by forcibly taking over the territory of others.”
Bassil also said that “Arabs support Syria’s right to restore occupied Golan, and support the “Lebanism” of Shebaa Farms, Kfarshouba Hills and the northern part of the town of Ghajar,” stressing Lebanon’s right to recover it.
On Friday and during a visit to Bulgaria, Bassil also stressed that the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms and Kfarshouba Hills are “Lebanese land.”
