The Washington Free Beacon reported last week that the Biden administration “is walking back the United States’ historic recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the contested Golan Heights region along Israel’s northern border, a significant blow to the Jewish state and one of the Trump administration’s signature foreign policy decisions.”

The report cites Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s comments in February when he would not say whether the State Department would retain the Trump administration’s 2019 recognition of Israel’s sovereign control over the Golan. The area was captured from Syria during the 1967 war.
