Trampling international law, Trump: USA recognizes Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights
China Social Science Network 2019-03-22 08:48:50
China news agency, Washington, March 21st US President Trump said on social media on the 21st that the United States recognizes Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
The Golan Heights is a strategic location for the Middle East and an important source of water for Israel. It belongs to Syria nominally, but it has been occupied by Israel since the third Middle East war in 1967. According to international law, this occupation is illegal.
On the same day, Trump said that in the past 52 years, the United States has "completely recognized" Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is crucial to the stability of Israel and the region in terms of strategy and security.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later stated through social media that he was grateful to Trump for his decision as Iran tried to use Syria as a platform to destroy Israel.
US Secretary of State Pompeo departed for Kuwait, Israel and Lebanon on March 19. On the 20th local time, he met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem, and both sides unanimously stated that they will further curb Iran’s influence.
The Golan Heights is at the junction of Syria, Israel, Lebanon and Jordan, and high altitudes and water sources give the region's controllers a natural strategic advantage. The US media generally believes that the Golan Heights is one of the most disputed territories in the world. Trump's decision is a major shift in US foreign policy for decades.
Another analysis pointed out that Trump's move will provide strong support for Netanyahu in the April elections.
CNN quoted former US Defense Secretary Panetta as saying that Trump’s move would “cause many concerns” and it’s hard not to regard this as an effort to support Netanyahu’s continued prime minister’s efforts. .
The US "New York Times" pointed out that Netanyahu plans to visit Washington next week, and it is expected that the new position of the United States on this disputed land will provide "great help." The newspaper also revealed that in a recent report, the US State Department used "Israeli-controlled" rather than "Israeli-occupied" to describe the territory of the Golan Heights, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

特朗普:美国承认以色列对戈兰高地享有主权 美媒:此举将“引发许多担忧”

中新社华盛顿3月21日电 美国总统特朗普21日通过社交媒体表示,美国承认以色列对戈兰高地享有主权。
戈兰高地是中东战略要津,也是以色列的重要水源地。它名义上属于叙利亚,但自1967年第3次中东战争以来,一直被以色列占领。根据国际法,这一占领是非法的。
特朗普当天表示,52年过去,美国是时候“完全承认”以色列对戈兰高地享有主权了,这在战略和安全上对以色列和地区稳定都至关重要。
以色列总理内塔尼亚胡随后通过社交媒体表态称,在伊朗试图利用叙利亚作为摧毁以色列的平台之际,他对特朗普的这一决定表示感谢。
美国务卿蓬佩奥3月19日启程访问科威特、以色列和黎巴嫩三国。当地时间20日,他在耶路撒冷与内塔尼亚胡会晤,双方一致表示将进一步遏制伊朗的影响力。
戈兰高地处在叙利亚、以色列、黎巴嫩和约旦交界处,高海拔和水源使得这片区域的控制者可以获得天然的战略优势。美国媒体普遍认为,戈兰高地是世界上主权争议最大的领土之一,特朗普的这一决定是美国几十年来外交政策的一次重大转变。
另有分析指出,特朗普此举将为内塔尼亚胡在4月份的选举中提供强有力支持。
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)援引美前国防部长帕内塔的话说,特朗普此举将“引发许多担忧”,而且很难不将此视为支持内塔尼亚胡继续担任总理的努力。
美国《纽约时报》指出,内塔尼亚胡计划下周到访华盛顿,预计美国在这片争议土地上的新立场将为其提供“极大的帮助”。该报还透露,美国务院在最近的一份报告中,用“以色列控制”(Israeli-controlled)而不是“以色列占领”(Israeli-occupied)来形容戈兰高地、约旦河西岸和加沙地带的领土。(完)
