DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria slammed President Donald Trump’s abrupt declaration that Washington will recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, saying Friday the statement was “irresponsible” and a threat to international peace and stability.

The Foreign Ministry in Damascus said Trump’s comments confirm “the blind bias of the United States to the Zionist entity,” referring to Israel, and added that Trump’s statement won’t change “the fact that the Golan was and will remain Arab and Syrian.”

The ministry also said Damascus is now more intent on liberating the Golan, “using every possible means.”

Trump’s announcement the day before was a major shift in American policy and gives Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a political boost a month before what is expected to be a close election.

3. Well if Syria hadn't been sending missiles to Israel before the 1967 war, and then decide to unite

in 1967 with Egypt, Jordan, etc. to mass troops along Israel's borders to destroy Israel in 1967, they wouldn't have lost the Golan Heights in the first place, which they were using exclusively to kill Israelis

Maybe Syria could enlighten the world about the Hama massacre, or the other slaughters they have been doing for decades against their own populous, before they lecture the world on "irresponsible" behavior
