“This is a very provocative statement, it can inflame a serious conflict in the Middle East. The position of the US President in this matter is rather destructive. Instead of taking diplomatic and negotiating measures to stabilize the situation in the region, the United States is trying in every way to aggravate the conflict. Trump ignores all agreements that were reached with great difficulty at the international level, ”the MP said.
Morozov stressed that in such a fragile region as the Middle East, "it is necessary to be more diplomatic and cautious, especially on the issues of conflict resolution."
Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Trump's call to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights put the region on the brink of a new crisis.
The EU said that the Golan Heights still does not recognize the Golan Heights as part of Israel. Syria and Iran condemn Trump's words.
