Arab League denounces Netanyahu remarks on Golan
Cairo:Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi on Monday denounced as an "escalation" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks on keeping the annexed Golan Heights.
Netanyahu had vowed on Sunday that the Golan Heights which Israel annexed after occupying it from Syria during the Six-Day War of 1967 would remained "Israeli forever".
Arabi the secretary general of the pan-Arab bloc headquartered in Cairo said Netanyahu's statement "was an new escalation that represents a brazen violation of international law."
Israel seized 1200 square kilometres (460 square miles) of the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and later annexed it in a move never recognised by the international community.
