UN calls on Israel to leave occupied Golan Heights after vote on resolution passed by 91 countries rejected by 9 with 65 abstentions

The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution demanding that Israel leave the occupied Golan Heights.

91 countries voted in favor of this resolution, with nine members rejected, and 65 abstained.

The resolution calls on Israel to leave all occupied Syrian territory in the Golan until the line of the fourth of June 1967, in implementation of the UN Security Council resolution.

The General Assembly considered Israel’s decision of 14 December 1981, which extended its rule and imposed its laws in the occupied Syrian Golan, to be null and void.
