The United Nations Security Council will discuss the American recognition of the Golan Heights on Wednesday following a request from Syria.
Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said: "For 29 years, Syria has used the Golan as a forward position against the State of Israel, and today it is Iran that wants to place its soldiers on the border of the Sea of Galilee. Israel will never allow such a reality and it is time for the international community to recognize that the Golan will remain under Israeli sovereignty forever. The United States and Israel will stand as one front in the debate against hypocrisy and lies. "
