Israel says White House officials are preparing an official document to codify support for Israel’s sovereignty of the Golan Heights, which will be signed by US President Donald Trump on Monday.
The signing of the decree will be witnessed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during talks with Trump at the White House, Israel’s acting foreign minister, Israel Katz (pictured), said in a Tweet.
“Tomorrow, President Trump, in the presence of PM Netanyahu, will sign a decree recognizing Israel’s sovereignty on the Golan. Israel-US ties are closer than ever,” Katz said.

אני נערך להופיע היום בפני אלפי משתתפי ועידת אייפק בוושינגטון. התבשרנו כעת כי מנהיגי הונדורס ורומניה הודיעו בועידה על כוונתן להעביר את שגרירויותיהן לירושלים. מחר יחתום הנשיא טראמפ, בנוכחות רה״מ נתניהו, על צו המכיר בריבונות ישראל בגולן. יחסי ישראל ארה״ב הדוקים מאי פעם.
Israel seized the strategic plateau from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war, subsequently annexing it in 1981 in a move never recognized by the international community.
Trump’s tweet annoys allies
Trump broke with decades of US Middle East policy when he posted a Tweet on Thursday that said it was time to accept Israel’s widely-contested claim to the border territory.
The decision has been criticized by many US allies — Germany, Britain, France and the EU have all said they still consider the Golan Heights to be “occupied” by Israel.
Syria and other states in the region said the recognition, if confirmed, would violate international law.
Netanyahu has long pushed for Washington’s endorsement, and many analysts see Trump’s comments as a campaign gift ahead of Israel’s April 9 election.
In 2017, Trump drew condemnation throughout the Middle East when he recognized the disputed city of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Business he may understand. Politics he doesn’t. The Golan heights decision is doubtless on Trump is taking orders to say as either he doesn’t get it or sees a trade off somewhere. It is now more than ever that Syria and Russia show trump classic diplomacy by putting their troops into the Golan Heights and chasing Israel out, calling Trump (and by extension the deep states) bluff.
Because Jared Kushner! No article required to point out the obvious. Let’s (me) go out on a limb. tRump needed money and made a deal with the zio-inbreds. They said, your daughter will marry this ortho-fag (jew) or you are finished. Done deal. The liar-in-chief agreed and now his family is boned. Let’s pause for a moment, who are his advisors?
Go and check the major shareholders and corporations Genie oil,mostly all politicians.
What choice did Trump have? If he’s going to fight the Democrats on the basis
of their new anti-Semitism, anti-Israel position what else could he do but show
support for Israel every way he can?
I keep seeing this photo of Trump and Net locking fists. Is it some kind of Communist symbol?
