Statements by US envoy for Syria and US ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, regarding the Golan Heights have sparked widespread anger in Israel, including from Benjamin Netanyahu's son, leading to calls for Barrack's dismissal.
Barrack stated that Israel continues to occupy the Golan Heights, which he described as a violation of international law and UN resolutions, specifically UN Resolution 242.
This position contradicts the official US recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the territory, which US President Donald Trump recognized in 2019.
The Golan Heights, a strategic plateau between Israel and Syria, was captured by Israel during the 1967 Middle East war and subsequently annexed, a move not recognized by the international community.
Approximately 20,000 Israeli settlers and 26,000 native Druze inhabitants, who identify as Syrian, currently reside in the Golan.
