This move can not be interpreted in any other way but as outright annexation of the territory seized by the Israeli aggressor from Syria in 1967 and illegally occupied since that time in contravention of the relevant resolutions of the United Nations. The Arab peoples, their friends and all progressive people all over the world were stunned by this outrageous decision of Israeli, war-mongering ruling clique taken in complete and flagrant disregard of the relevant security council and other United Nations resolutions related to the situation in the Middle East. This step is as illegal and provocative as the Israeli an- nexation of Jerusalem more than a year ago and must be unequivocally and resolutely condemned. All the necessary measures should be taken to force Israel to abandon the attempts to annex Golan Heights or any other Arab territory. While resolutely denouncing and condemning this new act of Israeli aggression, the Government and the people of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan express their solidarity with the Govern- ment and the people of the Syrian Arab Republic in their heroic struggle against the Zionist aggression and expansion for the restoration of the sovereignty of Syria over the Golan Heights The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan is ready to support any ef- fective measure against the Zionist aggressor including the appli- cation of severe sanctions provided for by the Chapter seven of the United Nations Charter. Afghanistan upholds the appeal of the Syrian Arab Republic to the Security Council to consider this matter as the most urgent one. The Israeli Kenesset's decision should be declared null and void and the full sovereignty of Syria over the Golan Heights has to be restored. Q SAUDI ARABIAN MISSION TO THE UNITED N AT IONS 4OS LEXINGTON AVENUE, 56™ FLOOR NEW YORK, N. Y. 1OOI7 24 November 1981 H.E. Mr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General United Nations New York, N.Y. 10017 Your Excellency, It has come to the attention of my Government that Israel has engaged in one more of its calculated and wilful attacks against Islamic religious mosques and holy places in the occupied territories. This latest incident involves an attempt to convert the Hassan Bey Mosque in the Manshieh Quarter in Jaffa, into a tourist shopping cen- ter. Apparently the center will be constructed by Mr. Gershon Perez, brother of Mr. Shimon Perez, leader of the Labour Party opposition in the Knesset. This is not the first effort on the part of the Israelis to desecrate, usurp, damage or eradicate Islamic places of worship. Among their notorious deeds were the attempts to des- troy the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and the conversion of part of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron into a Jewish synagogue where, under the guise of prayer, Israelis assemble with automatic weapons. On instructions from my Government, I wish to bring the latest incident to Your Excellency's attention, hoping that you will use your good offices to prevent this new attack on Islamic holy places under Israeli rule. I hope Your Excellency will be kind enough to circulate the text of this letter to all State Members of the United Na- tions. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest esteem. Gaafar M. Allagany Charge d1Affaires a.i. -' (j tX PERMANENT MISSION OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF AFGHANISTAN TO THE UNITED NATIONS 866 UN PLAZA, NEW YORK, N. Y. 10017 Nor-r - The Permanent Mission of the Democratic Republic of Afgha- nistan to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Secretary General of the United Nations and has the honour to transmit herewith the text of the Declaration issued by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan in rela- tion to the Israeli aggression on Lebanon. The Permanent Mission of the Democratic Republic of Afgha- nistan to the United Nations has further the honour to request that the enclosed text and this note be circulated as an offi- cial document under items 31, 33, and 58 of the Provisional Agenda of the Thirty Sixth Regular Session of the General Assembly, and that of the Security Council. The Permanent Mission of the Democratic Republic of Afgha- nistan to the United Nations avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Secretary General of the United Nations the assurances of its highest consideration. H.E. Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary General United Nations New York DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF AFGHANISTAN DENOUNCES ZIONIST RAIDS ON LEBANON Kabul, July 22 Bakhtar. Following is the text of the Declaration issued by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan in relation to the Israeli aggression on Lebanon. In spite of the fact that the barbarous attacks of the aggressive Israel on Lebanon by land, air and sea have not been unprecedented in the past 30 years but this time the Zionist aggressive government sup- ported by the United States imperialism has gone so far in its impudence as to grossly violate the national sovereignty of an Arab state under the pretext of deterring the activities of the Palestine movement of resistance and for the so-called maintaining of the security of the Zionists and to launch severe rocket and artillery attacks on the villages in south of Lebanon and turn them into ruins. Moreover, the aggressive Israel has stepped further and has strongly attacked on Beirut City where the Palestinian refugee camps are located as also the communication lines in the south of Lebanon. The Zionists state this time has not stopped at simple military attack but has also landed its infantry in south Lebanon by helicopters. The Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan along with the broad masses of the peoples of the world pay attention to the words of Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), who, drawing the attention of the freedom loving and humane people of the world and all Muslim nations to this aggression, said: "Tie are now in a state of war with Israel and Menachim Begin. The Zionist premier aspires like Hitler for the final solution i.e. for the freedom to completely exterminate the nation. But the Arab people of Palestine will not bow to this threat of the terrorist Begin who has resorted to it on the instructions of his White House masters. The Palestinian nation is fighting only for its right to have an in- dependent state and aspires for a peaceful life with the others." The Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan believes that behind the curtain of the so-called ceasefire negotiations which are being conducted by Philip Habib, the envoy of Ronald Reagan, is concealed the provision of unlimited political, economic, military and propaganda support to the Zionist government of Israel. These activities are aimed at hiding the crimes of the Zionism of Israel from the eyes of the world's people. Instead of giving a clear response to the constructive peace proposals of the Soviet Union about the Middle East, Washington with her new collusions with the regimes of Sadat and Begin about the Sinai Peninsula and the subversive activities of Philip Habib in the Middle East, is out on an unprecedented scale to ignite terror and fire in Lebanon and the Middle East. -2- The Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan points .
