Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Trump in Washington today for a ceremony in which the US formally recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan region of Syria.

Sensing yet another opportunity to present himself as a hardliner ahead of the April 9 election, Netanyahu ordered the mobilization of ground units and the Israeli air force launched a wave of strikes.
