Congress to Consider Recognition of Israeli Sovereignty Over Golan Heights

The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Congress is set to consider a new measure to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the contested Golan Heights region that separates Israel from Syria, a key piece of territory that has become all the more important since the civil war in Syria brought scores of jihadist fighters, including those backed by Iran, into the region.

Rep.
