Syrian President Al-Sharaa Recalls Joke to Trump on Golan Heights Dispute

Al-Sharaa emphasized that the Golan Heights belongs to its people and cannot be handed over by the US or Syria. He discussed past near-agreements between Syria and Israel and highlighted the ongoing dispute over the territory, which Israel captured in 1967 and later annexed, a move not recognized by the United Nations.
