A surprising joke about New Jersey has thrust the long-running Golan Heights dispute back into the spotlight. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa recalled telling U.S. President Donald Trump, “Why don’t you give New Jersey to the Israelis?” during a discussion over U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Behind the humor was a serious argument over territorial sovereignty. Al-Sharaa said the United States cannot give the Golan Heights to Israel because Washington does not own the territory, arguing that its future should not be decided by either the Syrian or American president. The comments also highlighted the continuing divide over the Golan Heights, with the United Nations considering it occupied Syrian territory, while the United States recognized Israeli sovereignty over the territory in 2019. Al-Sharaa also claimed that previous Syria-Israel negotiations had reached nearly 90 percent agreement before later stalling. #AhmedAlSharaa #AlSharaa #DonaldTrump #
