Foreign ministry condemns Colombia’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over Golan
Türkiye has condemned Colombia’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, saying the decision violates international law and carries no legal weight.
“We strongly condemn the statement made by Colombia aimed at legitimizing Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights, which constitute an integral part of Syria,” the Foreign Ministry said in a written statement.
The ministry said such unilateral moves amounted to a “grave violation” of international law, citing U.N. Security Council Resolution 497.
Adopted in 1981, the resolution declared Israel’s decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the occupied Syrian Golan “null and void and without international legal effect.”
