US should 'fully recognize' Israeli sovereignty in Golan Heights

In unprecedented move, US Pres. Trump calls for recognition of Israel's sovereignty over Golan Heights.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday made an unprecedented announcement, calling for the US to officially recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

In a tweet, Trump wrote, "After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!"

Trump called the territory "of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!"

Earlier on Thursday, a report by Israel’s Channel 13 claimed that senior Israeli officials believed that Trump would formally recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights next week.

The move ends a decades-long US policy of non-recognition of Israel’s annexation of the strategic plateau.

Israel captured the Heights from Syria during the Six Day War in June, 1967, after the Syrian army used the strategic high ground overlooking the Galilee to attack Israeli towns and farms.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu praised Trump's announcement.

"At a time when Iran seeks to use Syria as a platform to destroy Israel, President Trump boldly recognizes Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights," Netanyahu wrote on his personal Twitter account. "Thank you President Trump!"

Trump will host Netanyahu at the White House next Monday and Tuesday. The Israeli leader, who is running for reelection, will be in Washington for the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) pro-Israel lobbying group.

The Golan Heights move was hinted at a week ago when the State Department changed its usual description of the area as "occupied" to "Israeli-controlled."

Trump is definitely the most pro Israel President ever.
Worst was Jimmy Carter, Obama and George Bush the father.

Haven't been on JTF for a while couldn't stand all the Trump bashing but I am stoping by just to say may Hashem keep blessing Trump. the most pro Israel President ever, its sad to see even now some still hate Trump because he wasn't the kind of person they wanted, I wonder what would happen if Mashiach came and he turned out to be someone they never imagined would they also keep hating on him.

I really don't see that much trump-bashing here.  If he does something stupid, clumsy or leftist, we will point it out.  But for the most part, we like a lot of what he does, and we give credit where it's due.

What about Clinton?

Bill Clinton the most pro Israel President. :
Clinton refused to move the embassy to Jerusalem.
Clinton met Arafat more than any U.S President in history.

The true test is will President Trump use his support for Israel ( from his perspective ) as leverage to get Israel to make concessions to the Fakestinians in order for his 'Deal of the Century' to become a reality?   Time will tell but I'm concerned.  Especially, if Bibi remains the Israeli P.M.

[Binyamin Yisrael]

Bill Clinton the most pro Israel President. :
Clinton refused to move the embassy to Jerusalem.
Clinton met Arafat more than any U.S President in history.

I meant Clinton should be with the second comment I quoted.

Clinton certainly belongs with "Worst was Jimmy Carter, Obama and George Bush the father.". People used to say Clinton was the best friend of Israel but the same people that say that all vote Democrat. He might have been the most fixated on Israel and they got that mixed up with Pro-Israel.
