Pompeo Denies U.S. Stance on Golan Violates UN Resolutions
(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Sky News on Saturday: "What the President did with the Golan Heights is recognize the reality on the ground and the security situation necessary for the protection of the Israeli state. It's that simple." Q: Isn't this a violation of Security Council resolutions? Pompeo: "No, this is deeply consistent with the reality on the ground, the facts on the ground....The decision the President made will increase the opportunity for there to be stability throughout the region." "Everywhere we find malign activity by the Islamic Republic of Iran, the United States is going to pursue it, whether that's in South America, whether that's in the Middle East. Wherever we find it, we are going to give it a push back."
