Russia strongly condemned those statements through the Kremlin, the National Security Council and the Foreign Ministry, affirming that  they threaten stability in the region.

The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the Golan is a Syrian territory which has been occupied by “Israel” since 1967and that the statements of the US President on it disregard the international law.

Meanwhile the Russian National Security Council affirmed that no party should provoke the situations in the Middle East through illogical statements.

The Russian Presidency said that President Trump’s statements “threaten the stability in the Middle East.”

“Undoubtedly, such calls may significantly destabilize the already-tense situation in the Middle East. In any case, the idea per se by no means contributes to the Middle East settlement, quite the opposite,” Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
