The occupied Syrian Golan Heights will “remain in Israel’s hands forever”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared durin a meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of a security conference in Munich on February 16. The Syrian Golan Heights has been controlled by Israeli forces since 1967.
Furthermore, the Israeli prime minister once again accused Iran of threatening Israel through the Syrian territory and said that Tel Aviv will not allow Iran to establish military bases in Syria.
Netanyahu said that Israel will prevent any establishment of Israeli military bases in the country. The only problem is that Iran already has a number of military facilities in Syria.
On February 10, an Israeli F-16I warplane was shot down during an encounter between Israeli and Syrian forces. The Israeli side described this as a “success”.
