Netanyahu affirms Golan sovereignty
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that Israel is steadfast in its control over the Golan Heights, describing it as "our land" and a vital region for Israel's security. Since Israel's occupation of the Golan in 1967 and its annexation in 1981 without international recognition, the area has remained of strategic importance due to its position overlooking parts of northern Israel and southwestern Syria. In 2019, the Trump administration recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan, although the United Nations still considers it occupied Syrian territory, a stance that has drawn widespread rejection from the international community. The Golan remains a security and strategic symbol for Israel, and the Israeli government affirms that it will continue to maintain control over it.
