President Trump Fulfills Promise to Israel

President Trump has taken a big step in support of Israel, recognizing the country’s sovereignty over the Golan heights, a Syrian territory under occupation since the 1967 war. Fox News reports:

With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing by his side, President Trump on Monday signed a proclamation officially recognizing the contested Golan Heights region as part of Israel – marking another unprecedented move by Trump in strengthening U.S.-Israeli relations.

“This was a long time in the making and it should have taken place many years ago,” Trump said before signing the proclamation.

Trump’s proclamation came just days after he tweeted his support for recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

Netanyahu, who has previously accused Iran of attempting to set up a terrorist network to target Israel from the Golan Heights, praised Trump for his proclamation – calling the move “historic” and “invaluable” to the defense of the Jewish state.

This recognition of long held territory, gained in a defensive war, will also solidify Israel’s hold over a militarily vital region at a time when Iran’s influence in Syria is growing.

“I will bles them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 KJV , IF people can’t or won’t, see that this is as true today as when it was first spoken to Abraham, then they just can’t “SEE”! The U.S.A. (the middle letters of Jer USA lem) has been greatly blessed because of Israel! Again, Jesus Christ shoiws His glory by this TRUTH! ALWAYS Support and Never go against ISRAEL, No matter what the rest of the world does!

I would say the international community would have a lot to say about the Golan Heights being it is part of an international agreement.
