JEDDAH: The international community has been responding critically to US President Donald Trump鈥檚 signed declaration on Monday recognizing the illegally occupied Golan Heights as Israeli territory. 

The unprecedented decision overturns decades of US policy, previously aligned with the UN, that had acknowledged the Golan Heights as Syrian territory. 

Israel seized the area from Syria in 1967 and annexed it in 1981, in a move not recognized internationally. 

UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 242 stresses the 鈥渋nadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war.鈥�

UNSC Resolution 497 states: 鈥淭he Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction, and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is null and void and without international legal effect.鈥� 

Trump鈥檚 decision was followed within hours by a wave of international uproar. 鈥淭he American announcement does not change the legal status of the Golan in any way,鈥� the Arab League said in a statement. 

鈥淭he Golan Heights remains occupied Syrian territory. All this will be addressed at next week鈥檚 (Arab League) summit in Tunisia,鈥� it added. 

鈥淟egitimization of the (Israeli) occupation is the new orientation of U.S. policy 鈥� which has become fully compatible with the positions and desires of Israel.鈥�

The UN secretary-general鈥檚 spokesman Stephane Dujarric said: 鈥淚t is clear that the status of the Golan has not changed. The UN鈥檚 policy on the Golan is reflected in the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, and that policy has not changed.鈥�

抖阴短视频 firmly rejected Trump鈥檚 decision, and affirmed its position that the Golan Heights is occupied Syrian land in accordance with relevant international resolutions. 

鈥淚t will have significant negative effects on the peace process in the Middle East and the security and stability of the region,鈥� said Saudi Media Minister Turki Al-Shabanah.

The Kingdom's Shura council said they refuse to accept the US decision of recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, saying such declarations are unable to change history, SPA reported.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said in a statement: 鈥淭he US move will definitely undermine the possibility of reaching a just and comprehensive peace in the region.鈥� 

It added: 鈥淩egional stability and peace will never be possible as long as Israel continues its occupation of Palestinian and Arab territories.鈥� 

Oman鈥檚 Foreign Ministry said Trump鈥檚 decision 鈥渄oes not change the fact that the Golan Heights is Syrian land,鈥� and 鈥渄oes not help to keep the region stable.鈥�

The other Arab Gulf states of Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait, all regional allies of Washington, also rejected the decision.

Syria鈥檚 Foreign Ministry called the decision a 鈥渂latant attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria,鈥� and a 鈥渉umiliating blow to the international community.鈥� 

A Foreign Ministry spokesman added: 鈥淭rump does not have the right or the legal authority to legitimize the occupation.鈥� 

Syria鈥檚 state news agency SANA reported that thousands of people had gathered in the streets of several cities to protest Trump鈥檚 decision.

Syrian opposition chief Nasr Al-Hariri said Trump鈥檚 decision will 鈥渓ead to more violence and instability, and it will have negative effects on efforts to engineer peace in the region.鈥� 

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said: 鈥淣o one could imagine that a person in America comes and gives land of a nation to another occupying country, against international laws and conventions ... Such action is unprecedented in the current century.鈥�

An EU spokesperson said the bloc will not change its position regarding the Golan Heights in the wake of Trump鈥檚 decision.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said a change in the territory鈥檚 status would be a direct violation of UN decisions. 

On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a private meeting in Moscow with Lebanese President Michel Aoun to discuss the US decision.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: 鈥淪uch decisions undoubtedly have negative consequences from the point of view of a settlement in the Middle East and the general atmosphere of a political settlement in Syria.鈥� 

Lebanon said the move 鈥渧iolates all the rules of international law鈥� and 鈥渦ndermines any effort to reach a just peace.鈥� 

The Foreign Ministry added: 鈥淭he Golan Heights are Syrian Arab land, no decision can change this, and no country can revisit history by transferring ownership of land from one country to another.鈥�

Aoun said: 鈥淭he leader of a foreign state has no right to dispose of someone else鈥檚 territories this way.鈥�

Lebanon鈥檚 Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Derian said the decision 鈥渋s against all international and UN laws.鈥� 

It 鈥渨ill have dangerous repercussions in the Middle East, and will affect security and stability in the region,鈥� he added.

鈥淲hat has been issued is not legitimate, but is a challenge and a flagrant attack on the rights of Arabs and Muslims.鈥�

At a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Turkish President Erdogan said: 鈥淲e cannot allow the legitimization of the occupation of the Golan Heights.鈥�

The Canadian government said in a statement: 鈥淚n accordance with international law, Canada does not recognize permanent Israeli control over the Golan Heights. Canada鈥檚 long-standing position remains unchanged.鈥� 

Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne tweeted: 鈥淭he Golan Heights is a matter for Israel and Syria to determine through negotiations in the context of a comprehensive peace settlement. US policy positions are a matter for the US Government.鈥�

France and Germany issued statements last week in an attempt to pre-empt Trump鈥檚 decision. 鈥�#GolanHeights: France does not recognize the Israeli annexation of 1981,鈥� the Foreign Ministry tweeted. 

鈥淭he recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, an occupied territory, would be contrary to international law.鈥� 

A German government spokesman said: 鈥淚f national borders should be changed it must be done through peaceful means between all those involved.鈥�
