Minister Zeev Elkin responds to President Trump's statement regarding the Golan Heights.
"We welcome the American recognition of Israeli sovereignty on the Golan Heights, which is a clear proof of my claim that international recognition is the result of our positions and actions, we have declared Israeli sovereignty in legislation, over the years we have turned the support of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan into a broad consensus in Israel, Which removed from the political agenda the possibility of Israel's concession on the Golan Heights and turned this law into a Basic Law, when the world understood that we would not give up, we received American recognition. "
"I congratulate President Trump on the decision and Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu on the historic political achievement, and I and my colleagues will work in the coming years so that Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria will also become a reality in a similar way," Elkin said.
