US President Donald Trump signed a resolution on Monday recognizing the sovereignty of the Israeli occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights, in blatant contradiction to international resolutions on the Golan Heights.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry said the decision was a violation of international resolutions, considering the Golan as a Syrian territory occupied by UN resolutions.
Israel has occupied the Golan Heights since 1967 and announced its annexation in 1981 in a resolution that has been strongly opposed by the international community.

In its resolutions 69/25 of 25/11/2014 and 69/94 entitled "The occupied Syrian Golan", the General Assembly also annulled the decision taken by Israel on 14 December 1981 to impose its laws, its jurisdiction and administration in the Syrian Golan, As stated in Security Council resolution 497 (1981), we have asked Israel to immediately rescind its decision, claiming that Israel has not in accordance with Security Council resolution 497 (1981).

The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the situation in the Golan on its official website, saying that Israel continues to drain the natural resources of the occupied Syrian Golan and deprives its inhabitants of exploiting their natural resources, including including water resources, intentionally wasting these resources and limiting them to Israeli settlers.
