Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Sunday he plans to double the number of Israeli settlers living in the occupied Golan Heights. Bennett announced the move after the Biden administration signaled it would not challenge Donald Trump’s recognition of the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory. Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 war and annexed the territory in 1981 in defiance of international law.
