Tripoli, August 11, 2026 (LANA) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Government of National Unity expressed its strong condemnation and categorical rejection of Colombia's decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, considering this decision a violation of international law.
