On the 9th, the Syrian Transitional Government condemned Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's “illegal entry” into southern Syria. On the same day, Netanyahu went to Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights occupied by Israel, claiming that the Israeli army had “absolute control” over a large area of southern Syria. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Syrian Transitional Government said in a statement that Syria “strongly condemns Netanyahu's illegal entry into Syrian territory and Mount Hermon, which belongs to Syria. This is an act of provocation, a blatant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic, and a flagrant violation of international law.”
