Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa (Jolani) in NY said he challenged President Trump over the Golan Heights during a White House visit, saying that Trump should give Israel New Jersey instead. “You don’t own the Golan Heights to give, but you own New Jersey,” al-Sharaa said he told Trump. He added that the territory “belongs to its own people” and is not any president’s to give away.
