WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump on Monday signed a proclamation recognising Israeli sovereignty over the disputed Golan Heights, a border area seized from Syria in 1967.
"This was a long time in the making," Trump said alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House. US recognition for Israeli control over the territory breaks with decades of international consensus. Syria’s foreign ministry called the US decision a “blatant attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of Syria, in a statement carried by state news agency SANA.
