What is driving US President Donald Trump’s decision to officially recognise Israeli sovereignty over Golan Heights, seized from Syria in 1967?
Hamas said it has reached an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire with Israel after a severe exchange of fire on Monday, only two weeks before Israeli elections.
Israel's military launched strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza, hours after a rocket from the Palestinian enclave hit a house and wounded seven Israelis. The move appeared to give Netanyahu a boost ahead of the closely contested April 9 Israeli elections.The UN and other international players remained strong in their earlier positions on Golan.
Turkey strongly condemns the decision of the US administration to recognise Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, held under Israeli occupation since 1967, a statement issued late on Monday by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
