Former President Donald Trump told American Jews in Miami on Thursday, “I gave you the Golan Heights,” referring to U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty during his tenure.
He was warmly greeted, with one person saying, “You’re the best.”
As noted by journalist Jacob N. Kornbluh, he didn’t give the region to anybody; rather, his administration, albeit the most pro-Israel in American history, recognized Israel’s control of the Heights, which it annexed in December 1981.
