'The Syrian Arab Golan is ours and will return to us,' Damascus's envoy to the United Nations said just hours after Israel reportedly bombed Aleppo.
Syria's envoy to the United Nations suggested that the United States offer Israel land that Washington actually had jurisdiction over rather than the occupied Golan Heights.
"America is a wide and vast country, so why doesn't it give up a state or two of the United States to the Israelis, for example, North Carolina or South Carolina?" Jaafari asked, as his Israeli counterpart, Danny Danon, laughed and shook his head. "South Carolina is nice, because it's the land of Senator Lindsey Graham, who supported President Trump in his actions."
The move was widely condemned by world powers, many of whom cited U.N. resolutions that still consider the Golan Heights part of Syria after it was siezed by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War and annexed without international recognition. The move was especially ill-received in the Middle East, where even close U.S. allies came out against the announcement.
This picture taken on a government-guided tour shows a U.S.-made light anti-tank weapon one-shot rocket launcher with markings in Hebrew, seized by the Syrian government, reportedly left by armed opposition groups, laid out at an undisclosed location in the countryside outside the capital Damascus, March 28. Foreign backing for Syrian insurgents has dropped significantly amid growing Islamist trends and government victories, leaving Turkey as the opposition's last major sponsor.
