U.S recognition of Israeli sovereignty over Golan Heights a 'blatant attack on sovereignty': Syria

Syria's foreign ministry called the U.S. decision to recognise Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights a "blatant attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of Syria on Monday, in a statement carried by state news agency SANA.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed a decree on Monday saying the United States recognizes Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, territory that Israel seized from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war.
