US envoy Tom Barrack reversed his previous comments on the Golan Heights, reaffirming the US policy set by President Trump in 2019 that recognizes Israeli sovereignty over the territory. This contradicts his earlier statement in an interview where he claimed Israel "still occupy the Golan against the UN resolutions." Barrack's initial comments were made amid an Israeli strike on the Abu al-Duhur military airfield in Idlib, which he called "serious and worrisome," suggesting it might have had political motives ahead of Israeli elections. He also stated that the US would work to establish a deconfliction mechanism between Israel, Turkey, and Syria, emphasizing that "Syria has demonstrated itself to be a responsible and stable sovereign neighbor."
