Occupied Golan: Israel is confiscating lands, stealing water and illegally extracting natural resources

[Tony Gosling]

Israel is confiscating lands, stealing water and 
illegally extracting natural resources in the 
occupied Syrian Golan and seeking to implement 
what it calls the “farms project” on vast parts 
of lands which they seized in Occupied Golan, 
planning to bring nearly 750 families from abroad to settle there, Ala said.

<http://sana.sy/en/?p=28917>Syria’s 
Representative at the UN in Geneva calls for new 
approach for dealing with humanitarian issues in Syria

17 February 2015   http://sana.sy/en/?p=56129

Geneva, SANA – Syria’s Permanent Representative 
at the United Nations in Geneva Hussam Eddin Ala 
affirmed that continuous Israeli violations of 
resolutions issued by the Human Rights Council 
and the Fourth Geneva Convention require prompt measures to stop them.

In a statement during the Human Rights Council’s 
session to discuss the 7th item of the Council’s 
agenda related to the human rights situation in 
the occupied Palestinian territories and the 
Syrian Golan, the ambassador said that the 
discussions of this item are gaining momentum as 
it reflects the international community’s 
rejection of the continued Israeli occupation of 
Arab territories and its conviction that Israel 
represents a formidable and dangerous violation of human rights.

“In spite of hundreds of UN resolutions related 
to this issue, Israel continues to violate 
Palestinian and Syrian human rights and pushes 
ahead with its repressive practices in Palestine 
and the occupied Syrian Golan,” he added.

Ala indicated that the opposition of some member 
states to the council’s discussions of this item 
is an example of collusion and a flagrant 
practice of double standards, stressing that the 
Israeli occupation is the source of daily 
suffering that Palestinians and people of the occupied Syrian Golan are living.

Israel is confiscating lands, stealing water and 
illegally extracting natural resources in the 
occupied Syrian Golan and seeking to implement 
what it calls the “farms project” on vast parts 
of lands which they seized in Occupied Golan, 
planning to bring nearly 750 families from abroad to settle there, Ala said.

He stated that occupation authorities continue to 
violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and the 
decision of the Human Rights Council No. 28/24 
which demands it to refrain from repressive 
measures that deny the Syrian citizens in the 
occupied Golan their basic rights.
