Syria and its Russian and Iranian allies on Friday slammed President Trump’s call to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Israel seized two-thirds of the Golan during the 1967 war, and since 1973 Syria has made no military effort to regain it. Its army is no match for Israel’s superior military capabilities. Syria called the assertion of Israeli sovereignty “irresponsible,” saying it revealed the U.S. “mentality of hegemony and arrogance.”

The U.S. assertion of Israeli claims will give Iran a propaganda boost at a time when the Trump administration is pressing allies in the region to join efforts to roll back Iranian influence. Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo arrived in Beirut on Friday on a visit aimed at urging Lebanese leaders to take action to limit Hezbollah’s growing prominence in the Lebanese government.

Ok....thanks! By the way, Croatia should be its own sovereign government.

Inflames, incites violence and hatred!

AnnaHarffey It's all a show.

Golan heights belongs to syria....

I lean towards most of this president's good policies. But legitimizing Israel's 'occupation and annexation of foreign land' is WRONG. I argue as much as north and south Korea's DMZ type suggestion but not sovereignty. It did not belong to Israel then and it should not now.

Been tougher against Russia than the last administration ironically

Israel breaks International Law and if you criticize it you’re anti-Semitic - Trump, lmao

The Russians are mad again, and more hot air escapes from the collusion fantasy.
