Damascus: The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday condemned the visit by the Israeli Prime Minister and several of his ministers to the southern occupied Syrian territories, considering the move a blatant violation of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Ministry affirmed that the visit represents an attempt to impose a fait accompli that contradicts relevant Security Council resolutions and comes within the framework of the occupation's policy aimed at entrenching its aggression and continuing its violations in Syrian territories.

Syria reiterated its firm demand for the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from all Syrian territories, warning that the measures taken by the occupation in southern Syria are null and void and have no legal effect.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry also called on the international community to assume its responsibilities to stop the occupation's practices and compel it to withdraw completely and return to the 1974 ceasefire agreement.
