In a gift to Netanyahu, Trump tweets U.S. support for Israel annexing Golan Heights by BenManson0
Trump wrote on Twitter: “After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!”
The tweet followed growing speculation in both countries about such a move, even as presidential adviser Jared Kushner is still working on a comprehensive Mideast peace plan. On the American side, Senator Lindsey Graham expressed his support for US recognition of Israel’s annexation of the territory during a recent visit to Israel earlier this month, and Senators Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton have both advocated for legislation to formally recognize the territory as part of Israel.
With Netanyahu facing multiple corruption investigations and at least one indictment, he faces in Lapid and Gantz the most serious threat to his reelection since he began his current decade-long tenure as prime minister. .
