Trump just made a huge announcement regarding Israel that will not only make Israel very happy, but also a lot of Americans who support Israel.
Here’s what he had to say:
After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 21, 2019
I love it. Another great policy decision by Trump with respect to Israel.
The Golan Heights is essential to Israel’s security and this is absolutely the right thing to do.
Netanyahu was obviously very happy:
At a time when Iran seeks to use Syria as a platform to destroy Israel, @POTUS Trump boldly recognizes Israeli sovereignty in the Golan Heights.

Thank you President Trump!
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke this evening with @POTUS Donald Trump and thanked him for the decision to recognize the Golan Heights.

Prime Minister Netanyahu told US President Trump: "You made history."
Netanyahu also live streamed this announcement with Pompeo:
Others of note that were ecstatic about this announcement was…
I applaud @realDonaldTrump for taking the long overdue step of recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. It’s an enormously important signal that we stand with our allies and against our enemies, and will be heard by both. https://t.co/TaRQj6uViL

Agreed! Israel cannot be secure without the Golan. U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan acknowledges this strategic reality & the facts on the ground. https://t.co/YEjdEkDecL

President Trump’s decision to recognize the Golan as part of Israel is strategically wise and overall awesome.
Well done, Mr. President!
Now I, along with Senator @tedcruz, will try to get Congress to follow your lead. https://t.co/esjggBDawq

The Golan was used by Syria in 2 wars of aggression against Israel.
Additionally Syria’s Assad, Iran, & Hezbollah need to pay a price for dismembering Syria.
To return the Golan Heights to Syria would be to reward aggression and put the Jewish State at perpetual risk.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) March 21, 2019
It is now time for Congress to follow President Trump’s lead on this issue.
I’m urging Senate leadership to take up Senator Cruz’s legislation to recognize that the Golan Heights are part of Israel.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) March 21, 2019
I hope and believe there is widespread bipartisan support for this proposal.
Congressional passage would reinforce President @realDonaldTrump‘s decision as United States policy.

Thank you @realDonaldTrump. You’re a great friend of Israel and the Jewish people, and a great ally. G-d bless you and G-d bless America! https://t.co/bIzhLVY1Cy
