Jerusalem - US President Donald Trump
will on Monday sign a decree recognising Israeli sovereignty on
the Golan Heights while hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu at the White House, Israel's acting foreign minister
said.
A senior U.S. official said last week that the Trump
administration was preparing an official document to codify
support for Israel's annexation of the strategic plateau that it
seized from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war.
"Tomorrow, President Trump, in the presence of PM Netanyahu,
will sign a decree recognising Israel's sovereignty on the
Golan. Israel-U.S. ties are closer than ever," Acting Foreign
Minister Israel Katz tweeted on Sunday.
The United Nations considers the Israeli-held Golan to be
occupied territory.
