Israel Approves Plans to Advance Settlement Expansion in Syrian Golan Heights - Palestine Chronicle
The Israeli government announced on Sunday plans to accelerate settlement expansion in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, citing the ongoing conflict in Syria and a strategic goal to double the Israeli population in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the importance of reinforcing Israeli control over the area, calling it vital for the country’s security and sovereignty. According to the Lebanese news platform Al Mayadeen, Israeli forces have expanded their presence in Quneitra’s countryside and advanced toward key locations, including the town of el-Maalgah in southern Syria. Israeli troops have reportedly seized control of critical freshwater resources in the al-Yarmouk Basin and are now 15 kilometers from the Damascus-Beirut international highway. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
