Barak clarifies Golan remarks
U.S. envoy Tom Barrack retracted his statements regarding the occupied Golan Heights, affirming that the United States' policy towards the region has not changed since President Trump’s recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over it in 2019. Previously, Barrack had stated that Israel still occupied the Golan Heights in violation of United Nations resolutions, but he later clarified that his remarks were simply a description of the historical situation and not an endorsement of the UN’s stance, emphasizing that Trump’s policy on the Golan has remained unchanged. The area was occupied by Israel in 1967 and annexed in 1981, a move condemned by the UN and the majority of the international community as Syrian territory under occupation.
