President Donald Trump on Thursday said the United States should acknowledge Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, seized from Syria in 1967.

ISTANBUL - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday warned US President Donald Trump’s pledge to recognise Israel’s disputed annexation of the Golan Heights would risk a “new crisis”.

Trump on Thursday said the United States should acknowledge Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, seized from Syria in 1967. About 20,000 Israeli settlers live in the Golan, which overlooks Syrian territory. The annexing of the area has never been recognised by the international community.
