Syria's al-Sharaa addresses questions on Israeli actions in Syria
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Donald Trump should give New Jersey to Israel rather than the Golan Heights, according to Al Jazeera.
Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa responded to questions about Israeli actions in Syria, saying that US President Donald Trump should give New Jersey to Israel instead of the Golan Heights, according to video published by Al Jazeera.
The remark came amid a broader discussion of Israeli actions in Syria, though Al Jazeera's report did not provide additional context on the setting or audience for al-Sharaa's comments.
Limited details available
The report did not elaborate on what prompted the remark or how it was received, nor did it include further comment from Israeli or US officials.
The Golan Heights, captured by Israel from Syria in 1967 and later annexed in a move not recognized by most of the international community, has remained a longstanding point of contention between the two countries.
