Syria Requests UN Security Council Meeting on Golan Heights - Reports

Syrian Assad
US President Donald Trump signed Monday a proclamation formally recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights after his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.
The document, which has been widely regarded as way of propelling Netanyahu's re-election bid ahead of the 9 April parliamentary vote, has already been condemned by Iran, Russia, Syria, Turkey and other countries. 

Major US allies such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom have similarly refused to back the country's U-turn in its policy toward the Golan, as it went against a UN Security Council resolution.

Damascus requested Tuesday to hold an urgent UN Security Council meeting on the issue of the Golan Heights, AFP reported Tuesday, citing a letter seen by journalists.

Syrian Information Minister Imad Sara told Sputnik earlier on Tuesday that Trump's proclamation has demonstrated that the legitimacy of international law does not exist anymore.
