WorldUS envoy Tom Barrack retracts comment that Syria’s Golan is occupied
US Ambassador to Turkiye and Syria envoy Tom Barrack withdrew his earlier suggestion that the Golan Heights was occupied in violation of the international order. He reaffirmed that Washington’s policy, set by Donald Trump in 2019, recognising Israel’s claimed sovereignty over the Syrian territory remains unchanged. Israel occupied the Golan in 1967 and annexed it in 1981.
