The European Union has said it will not recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, despite the US policy reversal on the disputed territory, AP reported. The EU Foreign Affairs Department said in a statement on Wednesday that it was the “unanimous position” of all 28 member states not to change their stance. It is in line with UN resolutions that identify the Golan Heights as occupied territory and reject the seizure of land by force. Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it in 1981. US President Trump signed the proclamation recognizing Israel’s authority on Monday, upending over a half-century of US policy. The US is the first country to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan.
