The UAE has strongly condemned the Israeli forces' recent seizure of the buffer zone in the Golan Heights, reaffirming its commitment to Syria’s unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the occupation violates international law, particularly the 1974 "Agreement of Disengagement" between Israel and Syria.

The UAE said it firmly rejected such actions that could lead to further escalation, increase tensions in the region, and undermine efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability.
