    UN Security Council rebuffs Israel on Golan claim

    The UN Security Council on Tuesday rejected Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's assertion that the Golan Heights in Syria would "forever" remain under Israeli control, AFP reports.

    The 15-member council agreed that the status of the Golan "remains unchanged," said Chinese Ambassador Liu Jieyi, who holds this month's council presidency.
