Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights will be Israel’s “forever” comments that came a day after Israel captured territory inside Syria.
Israel first took the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and annexed the territory in 1981, a move not recognized by any other country until the Trump administration did so in 2019.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friend, President-elect Donald Trump for acceding to my request to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, in 2019,” Netanyahu said at a press conference on Monday, according to his office.
“Today, everyone understands the great importance of our presence there on the Golan, and not on the foothills of the Golan,” Netanyahu said. “The Golan Heights will forever be an inseparable part of the State of Israel,” the premier added.
A day earlier, Netanyahu was in the Golan Heights and announced that he ordered the Israeli military to seize a buffer zone between the occupied Israeli territory and the rest of Syria that’s been patrolled by UN peacekeepers since 1974 under an Israel-Syria ceasefire deal.
According to Israeli media, Israeli troops also captured several areas inside Syria that are beyond the buffer zone, including the Syrian side of the Mount Hermon mountain range. The land grab also came with massive Israeli airstrikes across Syria, which Israeli officials framed as being necessary to prevent hostile groups from acquiring weapons left behind by the now-deposed Syrian government.
According to The Cradle, Israeli strikes since Sunday hit 250 targets across Syria, hitting military bases, air defenses, ammo depots, warehouses, and other military assets. Israeli media reported it as the heaviest Israeli bombing in the country since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
Maybe Trump can retire to Trump Heights up on the Golan and give US Christian Zionists a good view of Tel Megiddo which is just down the road. They have a hard-on for Armageddon and only WWIII will get them off.
They often say Never Again, after the holocaust…Israel has a conveniently short memory…
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friend, President-elect Donald Trump for acceding to my request to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, in 2019,” Netanyahu said at a press conference on Monday, according to his office.
Bibi starting early on the ass kissing. He knows Trump well.
While you're at it why don't go 20 more kilometers towards northeast and capture Damascus as well/s…!
The Palestinian people are happy with the fall of Assad. Israel is happy with the fall of Assad. Turkey is happy with the fall of Assad. The Kurds are happy with the fall of Assad. al Qaida are elated with the fall of Assad. The US is happy for them and taking them of the terrorist list. The Middle East appears all of the sudden a place where everybody agrees with everybody. Everything's great, so I guess Christmas is early this year.
Not everyone, Putin and most bloggers here aren't happy.
Please count me in. I'm not Putin and not a blogger. But I wish to be on record that I'm not happy with al Qaida ruling Syria. I will go further than that. I'm not at all happy with al Qaida or any of their rebranding even existing. They're the Muslim version of Zionism as far as I'm concerned, and I would not put it past them to sink all the way to the same depth of depravity and infernal moral realm that the Zionists have done. The have proven that already with their attempt at genocide of the Yazidi. But they didn't have the means and the support of the West then that the Zionists have.
And even though I view all those who are cheering on al Qaida now at best as morons of infinite magnitude I am not at all looking forward to them thrown their Pyrrhic victory back in their faces.

He left out Trump. I guess that's the republican in him. I agree with him otherwise.
This type of sayings about events and occupation being "forever" is conceited, annoying, and very inaccurate, to say the least.
Zionists and the zio state think confidently they know their future? This is not at all the period of time of Joshua, or David, or Solomon, or Samson, etc. Every historical period has its own characteristics. Now the extremely militarized zionist state is like a military garrison of or attached to the United States in the Middle East. The world and events are changing. Great powers rise and fall one after another. In very few decades the US will experience turmoil and changes and then will go down to be a secondary power. What do you think will happen to this military garrison aka the militarized zio state?
The Israeli state and its army have a decades long record of militarism, deceit, misdeeds and committing atrocities, especially after 1967, for which they should and will be held accountable fittingly.
Instead of talking about aggressive militarism and occupation being "forever", here's a more objective or realistic outcome for the future, for the next years and next few decades: Whatever bad or deceitful things zionists and the militaristic zionist state do to others will heavily backfire and boomerang.
According to the warning and letter sent by Einstein to zionists in 1948 after the Deir Yassin massacre, the arrogant zionist state and its army are now following the detrimental path leading them to a “real and final catastrophe”, a catastrophe that can be described as not seen before by Hebrews in their entire long history. Perhaps they should have listened more to someone like Einstein and heeded his warnings.
When the time is right everyone will be held accountable appropriately for their misdeeds and wrongdoings.
