“This US statement does not change anything in the status of the Golan Heights. Golan is an occupied Syrian land, ”the communique of the Secretary General of the Arab League, RIA Novosti quotes.
He added that "the decision is insignificant in spirit and in substance," and also noted that it reduces the authority of the United States not only in the Middle East region, but worldwide.
According to Aboul Gheit, the 1981 UN Security Council resolution "unconditionally indicates the non-recognition of the Israeli annexation of the Syrian Golan."
The corresponding position will be reflected in the resolution of the League of Arab States, he stressed.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump in the presence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed a document recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he intends to bring the discussion of the Golan Heights issue to the UN General Assembly.
