SOT, Dr. Wasef Khater, Political activist (Arabic): "We declare our position in an open and clear manner regarding the US administration's outlaw decisions to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to annex the Golan and the Shebaa Farms to Israel. The deal of the century was imposed on the Middle East. We tell Trump and his allies in the region that the Golan will remain Arab, Syrian."

Political activist, Wasef Khater, who was present on the rally said: "We declare our position in an open and clear manner regarding the US administration's outlaw decisions to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to annex the Golan and the Shebaa Farms to Israel."
