Damascus condemned a trip Wednesday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials to Syria's south, where they visited troops deployed in a buffer zone intended to separate the two countries' forces.
Syria "condemns in the strongest terms the illegal visit... considering it a serious violation of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity", the foreign ministry said in a statement, calling it "a new attempt to impose a fait accompli that contradicts relevant Security Council resolutions."
