BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:00 P.M.) – Mass protests have broken out across Syria this afternoon in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights region.
Speaking to Al-Masdar from the protest in Damascus, a source said the decision to begin these demonstrations across Syria was made within approximately four hours.
Since the announcement, a large number of Syrians have gathered in the cities of Daraa, Sweida, Homs, Aleppo, and Damascus to protest Donald Trump’s recent decision.
Robert Inlakesh reported earlier today the United Nations Human Rights Council has just adopted a resolution condemning Israel of war crimes committed against civilians during recent Gaza demonstrations.
