Syria condemns Netanyahu’s visit to south as ‘grave violation’ of UN resolutions

By Betul Yilmaz

ISTANBUL (AA) – Syria denounced on Wednesday a field tour conducted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the buffer zone in the country’s south.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the “illegitimate visit” by Netanyahu and Israeli occupation officials as “a grave violation of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

"This visit represents a new attempt to impose a fait accompli that contradicts relevant UN Security Council resolutions and falls within the occupation’s policies aimed at entrenching its aggression and continuing its violations of Syrian territory,” the ministry added.
