Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to convince Washington of the importance of global recognition for Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights as part of U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton’s trip to Israel.
Netanyahu said he has raised the issue with President Donald Trump and hopes to impress it upon Bolton on Monday during a visit -- weather permitting -- to the country’s northeastern region, which Israel captured from Syria during the 1967 Middle East war.
