Iraq condemns Israeli settlement expansion in Syrian Golan

Shafaq News/ On Sunday, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry condemned Israel's expansion of settlements in the occupied Syrian Golan, affirming Iraq's steadfast stance on restoring Syria's full sovereignty over its territories.

"The Israeli expansion constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and legitimate international resolutions," the ministry stated, reiterating Iraq's "consistent and supportive position regarding the rights of the Syrian Arab Republic to reclaim full sovereignty over its lands."
