The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Biden administration would be “walking back” President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize the Golan Heights as Israeli.

The US State Department on Friday dismissed a report suggesting the Joe Biden administration would be reversing the prior administration’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
“US policy regarding the Golan has not changed, and reports to the contrary are false,” read a tweet from the Department’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.
