TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Sputnik, Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's UN ambassador, says that Moscow is hearing contradictory statements about which part of the Golan Heights the Zionist regime considers part of its inalienable territory.

Nebenzya said in this regard: "We are hearing contradictory messages from the Israeli side. Netanyahu talks about the Golan Heights as an inalienable part of the Zionist regime at a press conference! But given their (Israeli) aggression in the buffer zone, we do not know which part of the Golan Heights he considers to be an inalienable part of Israel!

Netanyahu, in a brazen statement on Sunday, claimed that the Golan Heights will remain an inalienable part of Israel. The Israeli prime minister also admitted to occupying Syrian territory, saying that "Israel has seized the Golan Heights buffer zone and the military has been ordered to take whatever action is necessary to "protect Israel's security."

The senior Russian diplomat stressed that Russia and the United Nations "more or less agree on the need to preserve Syria's territorial integrity and ensure the safety of civilians, as well as the flow of humanitarian aid to those in need."

He added that the Security Council's consultations on Syria had been positive. According to Nebenzia, everyone, including the members of the Security Council, was shocked by the developments in Syria. At the same time, he stressed the need to wait, monitor, and assess the course of developments in Syria.

Nebenzia added: "We are working and negotiating on preparing a document in the Security Council. Of course, not today, because no one is ready at the moment. However, in the coming days and I hope very soon, this will happen and we will see such a document on the situation in Syria."
