President Donald Trump holds up a signed proclamation recognising Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights

Washington, March 26 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a declaration recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, seized from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War.  

In a joint press conference with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, Trump hailed what he called the “powerful” relationship between the U.S. and Israel, while Netanyahu called the signing “historic justice” and a “diplomatic victory.”

The announcement comes less than a week after Trump tweeted support for Israel’s claim to the territory, despite the UN ruling the annexation “null and void.”  The Golan Heights is home to some 27,000 Syrians, and the Israeli occupation of the area has been blasted as “completely beyond international law” by the Arab League.
