ALBAWABA- The US State Department has emphasized the importance of the Golan Heights for Israel's security, stating that as long as Iranian groups remain active in Syria, the territory must stay under Israeli control for security purposes.
The US justifications for Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights seem irrational, as the territory has been under Israeli control since 1967, while concerns about Iranian factions in Syria only emerged after the failed revolution of 2011.
This discrepancy highlights the biased nature of US policies in the Middle East, showing unwavering support for Israel at the expense of regional rights and justice.
In a related incident, the US is also seeking a permanent diplomatic solution to ease tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border and fully supports Israel's actions against Hezbollah there.
The State Department attributed the recent attack on Majdal Shams to Hezbollah, despite the group's denial of responsibility.
They confirmed that the missile, which resulted in the deaths of 30 Druze residents in the occupied Golan Heights, was launched from an area controlled by Hezbollah.
The US warned that a large-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah would not benefit either side, yet Israeli officials continue to threaten severe military action against Lebanon.
This development raises concerns about a potential escalation into a full-blown conflict, aligning with Prime Minister Netanyahu's plans to divert attention and evade accountability for the Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip.
