The Golan is part of Syria’s national sovereignty and its residents are clinging to their identity despite all racist Zionist practices aimed at Judaizing and annexing it, the official said at an event on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of the villager’ general strike against Israel.

In a speech recorded and screened during the event, Hassan Fakhr al-Din ratified from Majdal Shams, the largest occupied Syrian town, the attachment to the Syrian Arab identity and its belonging to its homeland.

Our position has not changed and will not change, and our loyalty will remain to Syria and its people and army, he assured.

In turn, the provincial secretary of the ruling Baath party, Khaled Abaza, affirmed that the people in the Golan stand firm and resist until thwarting all the occupier’s plans.
