International condemnations of Trump’s resolution,UN: status of Golan had not changed, Moscow: new escalation of tension in region

Moscow has warned against the dangerous step of US President Donald Trump’s recognition of annexing the occupied Syrian Golan to the Zionist occupation entity as being taken out of the legal right and ignores all international UN relevant resolutions.

Spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova affirmed in a statement that such step would lead to a new escalation of tension in the Middle East.

The US president has recognized the annexation of the occupied Syrian Golan to the Zionist occupation entity in a flagrant aggression of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic.

Meanwhile, Russian foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized the US administration’s stance towards the Golan.

Lavrov, in a telephone call with his US counterpart, Michael Pompeo, said that the US approach leads to a flagrant violation of the international law and obstructs the settlement of crisis in Syria.
