                Proclamation 9852 of March 25, 2019

                
Recognizing the Golan Heights as Part of the 
                State of Israel

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                The State of Israel took control of the Golan Heights 
                in 1967 to safeguard its security from external 
                threats. Today, aggressive acts by Iran and terrorist 
                groups, including Hizballah, in southern Syria continue 
                to make the Golan Heights a potential launching ground 
                for attacks on Israel. Any possible future peace 
                agreement in the region must account for Israel's need 
                to protect itself from Syria and other regional 
                threats. Based on these unique circumstances, it is 
                therefore appropriate to recognize Israeli sovereignty 
                over the Golan Heights.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim that, the United 
                States recognizes that the Golan Heights are part of 
                the State of Israel.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                third.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
