Netanyahu's son involved in Barrak attack over Golan comments
Israeli officials launched an attack on the American envoy to Syria and Iraq, and the ambassador to Ankara, Tom Barrack, after he stated that Israel's control over the Golan Heights "amounts to an occupation that violates United Nations resolutions," which sparked sharp criticism both within Israel and abroad. These remarks come in the context of his discussions about the tension between Israel and Turkey, and his acknowledgment that the Israeli attack on a military airport in Idlib may have been the result of a communication breakdown, admitting that such an attack is not in their interest amid regional tensions. Barrack faced widespread criticism from Israeli officials and activists, who considered his statements to be inconsistent with the stance of the Trump administration, which recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Some demanded the withdrawal or dismissal of his appointment, viewing his comments as damaging to U.S. policy and complicating regional coordination.
