Qatar condemns Colombia’s backing of Israeli claims over occupied Golan Heights

Qatar and Turkey have issued official statements condemning Colombia’s recent decision to recognise Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. The diplomatic opposition places Colombia at odds with a growing list of mostly Muslim-majority states that reject Israeli claims to the disputed territory.

The condemnation from both nations highlights broader regional sensitivities surrounding the status of the Golan Heights, an area occupied by Israel. The statements reflect a coordinated diplomatic stance among regional actors against international recognition of the annexation.
