President Donald Trump on Thursday changed decades of U.S. Middle East policy with a tweet, announcing that "After 52 years, it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israeli's Sovereignty over the Golan Heights."Trump said the Golan "is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!"
The unexpected announcement comes just days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the White House on Monday and speaks at the pro-Israel AIPAC conference in Washington.
Within minutes, Netanyahu tweeted "Thank You President Trump!"

CNN won't tell you that Israel ethnically cleansed 93% of the original inhabitants from the Golan Heights shortly after occupying it in 1967 (a war crime).
There is no other significant power in the world who'll ever recognize this move, should President Adelson formally sign onto it. EU has already rejected it. Russia & China of course will not accept it. Not even Australia would recognize this land grab.
