<p>We have been clear to both our Israeli and US counterparts that the UK views the
Golan Heights as territory occupied by Israel. The UK did not recognise Israel's annexation
in 1981 and we have no plans to change our position. On 26 March 2019, following the
US Presidential Proclamation recognising that the Golan Heights are part of the State
of Israel, we reiterated our firm position on this matter at a meeting of the UN Security
Council. Annexation of territory by force is prohibited under international law. Any
declaration of a unilateral border change goes against the foundation of the rules-based
international order and the UN Charter.</p>
