Zarif: Islamic States ‘Shocked’ by US Call for Israeli Sovereignty Over Golans

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states condemn the recent statement by US President Donald Trump on the necessity to fully recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Friday.

“All shocked by Donald Trump continuing to try to give what is not his to racist Israel: first Al-Quds [and] now Golan,” the minister tweeted while in Turkey at the OIC meeting.

 Earlier, US President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter that now was the time for the US to recognize the Golan Heights as part of Israel. According to him, the time has come to take such a step in the interests of the security of Israel and the region

as a whole.
