U.S. president Donald Trump has followed through on his statement last week by signing a proclamation that formally recognises "Israel's" sovereignty over Golan Heights that it seized from Syria in 1967.

The Trump Administration is making it clear that it is working together with the Israeli government to impose a Greater Israel rather than the two-state solution on the 1967 border In two weeks’ time, the US Consulate General in Jerusalem will be absorbed by the American Embassy to Israel, which was moved to Jerusalem in May, 2018. The Palestinian leadership (PL) has shown resentment towards the move which has been in the works for months.

Australia is set to formally recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Australian public television station SBS reported on Tuesday.
