Lebanese concerned over fate of Shebaa Farms after Trump’s Golan decision
Tehran (KNA) - The US's controversial decision to recognize Israeli “sovereignty” over Syria’s occupied Golan Heights has raised concerns among Lebanese officials about the fate of Shebaa Farms which remain under occupation by the Tel Aviv regime.
Israel occupied Shebaa Farms, a small strip of land at the intersection of the Lebanese-Syrian border and the Golan Heights, during the 1967 war.
Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000, but it kept control of Shebaa Farms under the pretext that the region's ownership was undecided between Lebanon and Syria.
Tel Aviv considers Shebaa Farms part of the occupied Golan while both Damascus and Beirut say the area is Lebanese.
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump signed a decree recognizing Israeli "sovereignty" over the occupied Golan at a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
