Britain: no plans to change stance on Golan Heights

None

LONDON - Britain said it had no plans to change its stance on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights after U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday moved to recognise Israeli sovereignty over the territory seized from Syria in a 1967 war.

 

"The UK views the Golan Heights as territory occupied by Israel. Annexation of territory by force is prohibited under international law, including the U.N. Charter," a British Foreign Office spokesman said in a statement.
