The statement by the US President Donald Trump’s intention to recognize the Golan Heights as the territory of Israel could shatter the situation in the Middle East.
About this in an interview with journalists, the official representative of the Moscow Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov told. «Such calls may considerably destabilize the already strained situation in the Middle East. In any case, the idea as such by no means works for the tasks and goals of the Middle East settlement, but it’s the other way round».
While this (Trump’s statement - ed.) is just a kind of appeal, let’s hope that this will remain a call», the TASS Russian news agency quoted Peskov’s, in particular. Recall that the US «time to recognize» the sovereignty of Israel over the Golan Heights, Trump wrote the day before in his microblog on Twitter. Recall that until 1967 the Golan Heights were part of Syria, but during the six-day war, two-thirds of the territory was occupied by Israel troops. The UN has repeatedly called the annexation of illegal and called on Israel to return the Golan to the Syrians.
