In his latest controversial move, US President Donald Trump has recognised Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, ending decades of US policy towards the region.
It was a boost for embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is seeking re-election in two weeks.
But the move has been condemned by world leaders. Israel captured the territory in 1967 and annexed it in 1981 in a move not recognised internationally.
