Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has described as irresponsible U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement Washington should recognize Israel’s full sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
"Such statements being made today are irresponsible in our opinion. They are capable of causing negative effects [on the process of Middle East settlement]," Zakharova said on the Rossiya-24 round-the-clock television channel. "They may cause still greater destabilization in the region."
Zakharova recalled that the world community should see its main task in stabilizing the Middle East, and not in triggering new wars and exacerbating the already existing conflicts.
Earlier, Trump tweeted that the US should recognize Israel’s full sovereignty over the Golan Height.
