According to Saudi Press Agency, the Kingdom affirmed that this recognition explicitly contravenes the relevant United Nations resolutions, particularly United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 497, issued in 1981, which deemed Israel's imposition of its laws, jurisdiction, and administration over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights null and void, with no legal effect.
The Kingdom stressed that such positions do not contribute to achieving peace; rather, they diverge from the long-standing international stance on the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, reinforce the logic of imposing faits accomplis, and undermine efforts aimed at achieving peace in the region.
The Kingdom reiterated its steadfast position that the Golan Heights are occupied Arab Syrian territory, and that any measures or decisions seeking to alter its legal status do not establish any rights or confer legitimacy upon such actions. It called on the Government of the Republic of Colombia to reconsider its position, adhere to international law and relevant resolutions of international legitimacy, and continue contributing to efforts aimed at achieving security, stability, and a just and lasting peace in the region.
