On Thursday, President Donald Trump proclaimed that the time has come for America to “fully recognize” Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. The announcement marked a monumental shift in U.S. policy that could help ensure Israel’s security into the future.

According to reports, Trump is expected to enshrine this position in an official declaration recognizing Israeli control over the Golan as soon this coming week during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s scheduled visit to Washington.

Below, in no particular order, are five major reasons Trump’s decision on the Golan Heights is the correct one.

1 – Maintaining the Golan Heights is essential for protecting Israeli security. Relinquishing the territory – used three times to mount ground invasions into Israel — would precipitate an existential threat to the Jewish state.

2 – Syria is a failed state that constitutes a direct threat to Israel.

3 – Israeli control of the Golan Heights advances U.S. security in the region.

4 – Outside control of the Golan Heights could threaten Israel’s water supply.

5 – Jews have long been connected to the Golan Heights — territory that is steeped in Jewish history.
