Amnesty International has written to the Israeli Minister of Defence Ehud Barak raising concerns about quotes which appeared in media reports on 19 July attributed to the Minister, stating his intention to prevent refugees fleeing increasing violence and wide-spread human right abuses in Syria, from entering Israel via the Israeli-occupied area of the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights - home to tens of thousands of Israeli nationals – was occupied by Israel in 1967 though it is internationally recognized as Syrian territory.
