Golan Heights; Arab Leaders demonstrate to be an Obstacle
 |
| Golan Heights |
Golan Heights as part of Israel through a presidential proclamation signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on March 25, 2019. The directive made the United States the first country, after Israel, to recognize Israeli rather than Syrian sovereignty over the Golan Heights region.
The Guardian terms the move as cynical and the dangerous, it reported that Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after Donald Trump signed a proclamation, standing beside him while addressing in Washington DC, reportedly called President Trump's decision "historic justice" and gifted Trump a box of wine from the occupied territory. Trump's announcement is mistakenly an election-time favor for Benjamin Netanyahu, despite facing multiple corruption charges, he and his party Likud have been flagging in the polls.
In December 2017, President Trump declared to recognize Jerusalem as Israeli capital; in an address, he said: "Today we finally acknowledge the obvious: that Jerusalem is capital of Israel, this is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality."
During the Arab-Israel war of 1967, Israel seized, occupied the Golan Heights from Syria and the East Jerusalem and the West Bank from Jordon. In 1981, Israel annexed the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem by extending its law and jurisdiction into both territories, indicating an intention to permanently extend its borders to include them. United Nations passed a resolution rejecting the annexation of Syrian territory as "null and void and without international legal effect."
On March 31, 2019, Arab League Summit was held in Tunisia's capital Tunis against the backdrop of the ongoing unrest, renewed the call for the establishment of a Palestinian state, the Arab leaders also condemned a move by the United States to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights. King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud of Saudi Arabia reiterated the support of his kingdom for a Palestinian state in the occupied West Bank and The Gaza Strip, with occupied East Jerusalem as its capital. Concerning the recent move of Golan Heights' recognition by President Trump, he said: "We reiterate our categorical rejection of measures that would undermine Syrian sovereignty over the Golan Heights."
Speaking at the Arab League summit in Tunisia, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas said that: “What is coming from the US is more dangerous and serious. The US will tell Israel: ‘annex part of the Palestinian lands and grant self-rule to what’s left of the land, and give the Gaza Strip a state so that Hamas can play there.’
“The US administration decides to destroy the Arab Peace Plan, and constitutes a dramatic change from the positions of previous US administrations,” Abbas continued.
Arab leaders supposedly arranged for Arab Summit to only please the Arab people by showing that their leaders are busy in doing something for rights of Palestine and other Arabs; Most Arab states are in good terms with present United States government, cooperation in different fields being extended, key Arab leaders would not want to spoil their relationship with the U.S. Despite denouncing the US moves favoring Israel, there was no announcement of further action to be taken by Arab leaders.
