> Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa vowed in a UN speech that the Golan Heights would remain Syrian. At an Atlantic Council panel the previous day, he said he had openly told Trump that the US president had no right to recognise Israeli sovereignty over the territory, joking that Trump should give New Jersey to Israel instead.
