Syria's foreign affairs authorities on Wednesday condemned an "illegal" visit by senior Israeli officials to the country's south, calling it a serious breach of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.



In a statement, the Syrian side described the visit, which was made by the Israeli prime minister along with the defense and foreign ministers and other officials, as "a new attempt to impose a fait accompli" and violated U.N. Security Council resolutions.



The statement said any Israeli measures in southern Syria were "null and void" under international law and repeated Syria's demand for the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from its territory. It urged the international community to curb Israeli actions and press Israel to return to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
