Netanyahu says Golan Heights will now be Israeli “for eternity”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the Golan Heights would perpetually remain part of Israel.
His comment came as criticism grew after Israel's takeover of a buffer zone along its border with Syria.
The UN and Israel's neighbours denounced the move, with a UN spokesman on Monday saying Israel's actions were "a violation" of the 1974 disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria.
Netanyahu said on Sunday that the collapse of the Assad government and the Syrian army abandoning its posts had invalidated the agreement.
Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Netanyahu thanked US President-elect Donald Trump for recognising Israel's 1981 annexation of the territory during his first term and said "the Golan will be part of the State of Israel for eternity”.
