PM said to ask US to recognize Golan sovereignty to compensate for Syria pullout
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly asked the White House recently to formally recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, as a form of compensation for the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, Channel 10 reports.
The TV report says Netanyahu has sent a letter to the White House seeking the diplomatic gesture, and that he had raised the subject last week, during his meeting in Brazil with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and today, in his meeting in Jerusalem with US National Security Adviser John Bolton.
