Summary/Abstract: Recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights is part of a series of pro-Israeli decisions made by President Donald Trump, that break with the previous U.S. foreign policy line towards the region. It raises legitimate opposition from other members of the international community. The decision may widen the gap in transatlantic relations and negatively affect the image of the U.S. as a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
