UN General Assembly Calls on Israel to Withdraw from Golan Heights
(Jerusalem Post) The UN General Assembly approved a resolution on Tuesday calling on Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights, in a 123-7 vote with 41 abstentions. The U.S. and Israel voted against the resolution. Countries abstaining included Argentina, Australia, Canada, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Korea, and the UK. Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon responded: "The UN General Assembly once again proves how disconnected it is from reality. Instead of addressing the crimes of the Iranian axis and the dangerous activities of militias in Syria, it demands that Israel withdraw from the Golan Heights - a vital defense line that protects our citizens. Israel will not return to the 1967 lines and will not abandon the Golan. Not now, not ever."
