CAIRO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 22nd March, 2019) The League of Arab States fully supports Syria's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, the organization's Secretary-General, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, said in the wake of US President Donald Trump's announcement that it was time for the United States to fully recognize Israel's sovereignty over the area.

"The League of Arab States fully supports Syria's right for its occupied territory. We have a specific position, based on resolutions, on this issue," Aboul Gheit said on Thursday.

The official insisted that the Golan Heights was the occupied territory belonging to Syria under international law and the resolutions of the United Nations and the UN Security Council.
