“The position of the EU has not changed. In accordance with international law, the European Union does not recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the territories it occupied since July 1967, including the Golan Heights, and does not consider them as part of Israeli territory, ”Kozyanchich quotes RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Trump said it was time to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

According to him, this territory is crucial for the security of Israel and regional stability.

The Golan Heights is a disputed territory in the Middle East. Currently, most of it is controlled by Israel, while the smaller, eastern part is controlled by Syria.
