美国驻叙利亚特使兼驻土耳其大使汤姆·巴拉克周日撤回其两天前的相关评论1。巴拉克在周五的采访中表示以色列"仍"占据戈兰高地1，这一说法与特朗普总统的政策立场相悖1。巴拉克随后澄清，他的言论仅是对该领土历史地位的描述，而非对联合国立场的认可1。
巴拉克重申，美国对戈兰高地的政策由特朗普在2019年确立，迄今未改变1。特朗普在2019年承认了以色列对这片领土的主权，推翻了美国数十年来的既有政策1。戈兰高地在1967年中东战争中被以色列从叙利亚夺取，1981年正式并吞1。然而，联合国和国际社会大多数认为该领土属于被占领的叙利亚土地，不承认以色列的并吞行为1。佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特在社交媒体上指责这位大使似乎"遗忘了"特朗普的承认立场1。
Tom Barak, the US envoy to Syria and ambassador to Turkey, retracted his comments on Sunday regarding Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights, which had contradicted President Trump's stated position on the territory.1 Barak had stated on Friday during an interview that Israel "still" occupied the Golan Heights, language that conflicted with the administration's official stance.1
In his walkback, Barak characterized his earlier remarks as a description of the territory's historical status rather than an endorsement of the United Nations' position on the matter.1 He reaffirmed that current US policy on the Golan Heights was established by Trump in 2019 and remains unchanged.1 Trump's 2019 decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the territory represented a reversal of decades of American policy.1 The United Nations and much of the international community maintain that the Golan Heights, captured by Israel from Syria during the 1967 Middle East war and formally annexed by Israel in 1981, constitute occupied Syrian territory whose status Israel's annexation does not legitimate.1 Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida responded to Barak's initial comments on X, suggesting the envoy appeared to have "forgotten" Trump's recognition of Israeli claims to the territory.1
