Russia slams occupation of Golan Heights after Israel expresses support for Ukraine

Russia condemned Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights on Wednesday day after Israel expressed support for Ukraine in the unfolding crisis.

Russia’s United Nations envoy, Dmitry Polyanskiy, told a Security Council briefing that Moscow was “concerned over Tel Aviv’s announced plans for expanding settlement activity in the occupied Golan Heights, which directly contradicts the provisions of the 1949 Geneva Convention”.

“Russia’s unchanging position, according to which we do not recognise Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights that are an inalienable part of Syria.”

The Golan Heights was officially recognised as part of Syria when the country acquired independence in 1944 - years before Israel was created.

A strategic plateau straddling Israel and Syria and overlooking southern Lebanon, the resource-rich region was captured by Israel during the war of 1967.

According to official Syrian figures, at least 131,000 Syrians from the cities of Quneitra and Fiq were expelled from the region, and some 137 villages and 112 farms were subsequently annexed.

Polyanskiy’s comments came hours before Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a large-scale offensive across Ukraine on Thursday.

Earlier on Wednesday, Israel’s foreign ministry issued its first statement on the crisis, where it deliberately refrained from mentioning Russia or Putin but stated support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

“Israel shares the concern of the international community regarding the steps taken in eastern Ukraine and the serious escalation in the situation,” said the statement.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine could put Israel in a difficult situation, as the country is a close ally of the US while also traditionally having good relations with both Moscow and Kyiv.

In 2019, Israel and Ukraine signed a major trade agreement, and in December 2021, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov visited Israel.

An armed conflict could also have repercussions for Israel’s domestic politics, with the country being home to over 500,000 Ukrainian ex-pats and over 400,000 Russian immigrants.

As usual , we are mixing Maize and Beans here …

But since we are on the subject , let’s at least be Truthful … :D:D

While not in agreement with all of Israeli settlement policies , the Golan Heights is a different matter …

[ATTACH=full]422361[/ATTACH]

Twice ( 1967 and 1973 ) Syria launched attacks on Israel from this territory …

After the last war , Israel retained this territory as a buffer zone to prevent the shelling of Israeli settlements in Galilee and Nazareth by Hezbollah Militia’s and the Syrian Army …

There is also a UN patrolled buffer land to prevent attacks from both sides … :D:D

Israel acquired Golan heights as a spoil from war. a war which they did not start, so according to me Golan is legitimately Israeli land hata Sinai Peninsula hawangerudishia Egypt according to me . but Israel should lie down like an envelope when territory annexation issues are being spoken

Golan heights is close to a place in Syria where Iran has established a launchpad for their future attack plans against Israel. Which other country collaborated with Iran even bombing Syria to antiquity? Russia.

Because of US failed policies which removed sanctions against Iran, it means that Iran must be very, very close to acquiring a nuclear weapon if they haven’t already. Middle East conflicts always come to a head around July heading to Yom Kippur Jewish celebrations in Sept-October, so keep your eyes peeled.

Mossad has taken down very many bright minds involved in the project, so I doubt they are that close. Kazi yao ni ku-enrich uranium every now and again waiting for the right time. Btw such countries if wangewacha Islamic terrorism, wangekuwa mbali sana. Others are Malaysia, Turkey, Indonesia and KSA. (UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar ni venye wako na a large number of foreigner so wao kazi yao ni kufund tu)

Obligatory ‘fuck Israel’

The facination with Nuclear Weapons in here is amazing … :smiley:

It would be nice if the majority in here would understand that a nuclear war has terminal consequences …
(… Even for those fools who think blast bunkers deep in Earth’s crust are adequate protection …)…

They actually are not … :smiley:

How many people with how much resources ( Air , Food , Water , Fuel , Resources…etc ) could you provide for … and for how long …???

And 6-8 months after you and a small band of survivors crawl out into a highly radioactive wasteland devoid of any life or working infrastructure …

What next … ??? :smiley:

Wameona movie mingi sana onea watoto huruma. Living in a country where the only sound they hear is teargas,tyreblow and occassional gun blasts in clubs,its hard to fathom a full scale war…let alone a nuclear blast

14

What next?

The world will restart. It has previously been destroyed by water. This time, it will be by fire.

2 Peter 3:6-7

By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

Little knowledge is really dangerous …

As at 1986 , Russia had a mixed ( fision & fusion - small and intercontinental) stockpile of approximately 45,000 nuclear weapons.

Top of the range was the Tsar Bomba with a blast yield of 60 Megatons.

I will let you do your own research on how much damage a single 60 Megaton nuclear warhead can do and thereafter , we can continue this discussion … :D:D

16

And just BTW …

Those who happen to be well schooled among you …
Will confirm that the Half Life of Plutonium PU-239 ( a popular trigger component of modern nuclear weapons ) is 24,100 years …

Masomo ni muhimu Sana … :D:D
