Russia warns of ‘new wave’ of Mideast tensions after US Golan recognition

Moscow says it fears “a new wave of tensions” in the Middle East, following the decision by Washington to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which are claimed by Russian ally Syria.

“Unfortunately, this could drive a new wave of tensions in the Middle East region,” Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says in a radio broadcast, according to Russian news agencies.
