NewzUnited States envoy Barrack has reversed his previous remarks regarding the Golan Heights, formally reaffirming the Trump administration's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the territory. The reversal aligns the envoy's position directly with the official U.S. policy established under former President Donald Trump.
Historically, Israel conquered the Golan Heights during the 1961 Six-Day War and subsequently annexed the area by law in 1981. This annexation faced immediate international pushback, highlighted by United Nations Security Council Resolution 497, which was passed days after the annexation and officially rejected the move as null and void.
