Ted Cruz: "Golan Heights are part of Israel's sovereign territory":

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken: The Golan Heights are not for sale.

“The time has come after 40 years for the international community to finally recognize that the Golan Heights will remain forever under Israeli sovereignty,” he said. Whatever the outcome of the peace talks, he added, “the border will not change.”
​

In other words, all parties participating in the Geneva talks can go home.

Netanyahu made the above remarks before a cabinet meeting near the Syrian border on Sunday. It was a day after he met with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and told the American official that Syria will never return to its pre-war state, before it became a terrorist haven. Hence, the need to keep Golan Heights under Israeli control.

Israel acquired the Golan Heights during the 1967 Six-Day War and annexed the territory in 1981, expanding Israel civil law into the territory. Yet, many international players, including the U.S., have refused to recognize it as Israeli property.

Shortly after Netanyahu made his bold statement, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz applauded him, saying in a new statement:

"Today, the government of Israel reiterated the reality that the Golan Heights are part of Israel's sovereign territory. Given the presence of hostile terrorist organizations ranging from ISIS to Hezbollah on Israel's northern border, it is foolhardy and dangerous for elements in the international community to try to pressure Israel to abandon the Golan to the chaos engulfing Syria. The path to peace cannot involve Israel's abdication of its own security. I applaud Prime Minister Netanyahu's courage in standing up for the safety of his people. America stands with you."
​

The Syrian government has a much different view than Netanyahu and Cruz. Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad, for instance, insisted Syria will retake the region by force if they have to.

Israel....our "best" ally. What a joke

 

[TheUglyTruth]

Technically he is right. The Golan Heights are under Israeli sovereignty and have been since they extended their laws unto it back in the 80s.

lol, is that a real cover?

Does Rafael Cruz know that Israel and NY have many shared values?

Of course he does, but he also knows one is popular with the GOP base, while the other is not.

What's wrong with saying that some races are more chosen/supremacist than others?

That's the basis underneath Rafael's zionist dogmatic views.

No. What's wrong with saying that that Golan Heights is part of Israel?

 

[AngryCanadian]

No. What's wrong with saying that that Golan Heights is part of Israel?

Because Golan Heights arent part of Israel? and the fact that Bibi suggested that Golan Heights would forever with Israel is just far far fetched.
This would only give more excuses to Israel so they could expand elsewhere.

And some people say that reptilians secretly control the world.

Israel has opened its borders with Syria in order to provide medical treatment to Nusra Front and al-Qaida fighters wounded in the ongoing civil war, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The prominent American newspaper reported that Nusra Front, the Sunni Muslim al-Qaida offshoot which is currently fighting the Iranian-backed axis of Bashar Assad and Hezbollah, "hasn't bothered Israel since seizing the border area last summer" along the Golan Heights.

The Wall Street Journal quoted "an Israeli military official" who said that most of those treated were armed rebels fighting the regime.

Sounds like cooperation to me.

Because Golan Heights arent part of Israel?

That's news to me. They were part of Israel when I was there in 1999. Has that changed recently?

Thats because Israel has fought Syria over them.

Thats because Israel has fought Syria over them.

How is that relevant?

 

[openfire]

How is that relevant?

Because it's "disputed" territory, much like other areas of Israeli occupied land.
