Kremlin comments on Trump’s statement on Golan Heights

U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that Washington should recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights may destabilize the situation in the Middle East, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, expressing hope that it will remain just a call.

"Such calls may considerably destabilize the already strained situation in the Middle East In any case the idea as such by no means works for the tasks and goals of the Middle East settlement. It’s the other way round," TASS cited the spokesman as saying.

Earlier, Trump tweeted that the US should recognize Israel’s full sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
