Colombia recognizes Israeli claim over the Golan Heights

BOGOTA: Colombia’s newly appointed hard-right government on Monday recognized Israel’s claim over the Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria in 1967. The United States was until now the only country to recognize Israel’s annexation of the territory in 1981. Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella took power on Friday, following a bombastic campaign during which he promised tight relations with the US and Israel as a way to combat armed groups in his own country.
