Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights is critical to the security of Israel and the stability of the entire Middle East.

UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO OUR PARTNERSHIP: Under President Trump, the alliance between the United States and Israel has never been stronger.

The Trump Administration has pushed back against the United Nations’ (UN) unfair treatment of Israel. For too long, Israel has been the unfair target of biased and one-sided attacks at the UN.
