(Worthy News) – Syria asked the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday to hold an urgent meeting on the US decision to recognize the Golan Heights as Israeli territory.
US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Monday in which the United States recognized Israel’s control of the strategic plateau, despite UN resolutions that call for Israel’s withdrawal from the Golan.
