President Trump’s decree recognizing the Israeli annexation of the Golan
Heights. Israeli officials have presented this as a major
ground-breaking recognition, and seemed to hope it would be embraced by
someone else.
So far though not a single nation has endorsed the move. On Wednesday, the European Union announced that all 28 member states have unanimously rejected the US recognition of Israel’s annexation, and will continue to view Golan in line with UN Security Council resolutions.
The Golan Heights are legally part of Syria, occupied by Israel in 1967
and annexed by them in 1981. The United States now stands as the only
nation to recognize Israel’s annexation.
The recognition of the annexation has fueled concerns Israel may try to
annex more occupied territories in the future, figuring the US will
ultimately sign off on them. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has
suggested that is the case, arguing that anything taken in the war is
“ours now.”
Bibi doesn’t care. He only needs one superpower.
Well, soon we will not be a superpower, maybe not even a country. Then Bibi will need only notification to next of kin.
Crimea says hello.
You’re comparing apples to space goats.
Russians live in Crimea and did ever since Rusdian prince Vladimir accepted Christianity and converted Russians. This happened in Crimea. Crimea was taken away from Russia through administrative process in Soviet Union, and put under Ukrainian administration, but kept its rights as a Republic. Meaning that it had a right to decide through a referendum on choice of association. Crimea voted immediatelly following the breakup of Soviet Union to stay in Russia. Ukraine ignored — but signed the deal with Russia kn the use of Naval Base. Another chance for Crimea was 2014 coup in Ukraine. This time, they finally were returned to Russia.
Golan Heights is Syrian territory. No Jewish population claims to posses the right to annex the region to Israel. This is military takeover of somebody elses land and subjecting its Arab population to occupation, ethnic cleansing with no right of return home.
Comparison is quite grotesque.
Turkey expelled Jewish from the Golan. Syria expelled Jews fro the Golan.Syria used the heights as a platform for warfare against Israel for 20 years-they gave up any rights. Part of Israel now.
The Israelis can get bent, but this vote means exactly zero.
The Eu should be more concerned about the ongoing abuse and displacement of their own Jewish citizens. Let the EU clean their own house first
Can you share information of such abuse and displacement in EU?
