“This is a catastrophic departure from the very basis of international law,' former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt said in response to President Donald Trump's call to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Analysts have argued that President Donald Trump’s Thursday comments about the Golan Heights could set a dangerous precedent with regard to Russia's stance on Crimea, even if Trump's comments are not legally binding.
“The jungle is back,” former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt tweeted. “This is a catastrophic departure from the very basis of international law. Kremlin will applaud and apply the same principle to Crimea. Beijing will applaud and apply to South China Sea.” A view of a Russian military police post on the Bravo Line, a line of United Nations posts on the Syrian side on the Golan Heights.

Despite analysts' concerns about Crimea, which Russia overtook by military force in 2014, the Kremlin was among those who criticized Trump’s comments, arguing that recognizing Israel’s control of the territory would inflame regional tensions. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a press statement that"such calls may considerably destabilize the already strained situation in the Middle East.
