The US Ambassador to Turkey and President Trump's envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, said in an interview with content creator Mario Nawfal that Israel holds the Golan Heights in violation of UN charters and the international order. Barrack noted that the international community views the Golan as Syrian territory. These remarks come against the backdrop of the Trump administration's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan in March 2019. Barrack also addressed the theory that Israel tried to provoke Turkey into escalation, explaining that the motivation for this may be related to the upcoming elections in Israel, but emphasized that this is just one theory. Additionally, Barrack referred to claims by Israeli intelligence officials about the deployment of Turkish forces at the Abu al-Duhur base in northern Syria, stating that the information was checked by the Americans and for now, no such deployment has actually occurred.
