U.S. Envoy Barrack clarifies Golan Heights comments and reaffirms administration policy

U.S. Special Envoy Tom Barrack walked back podcast remarks regarding the Golan Heights, clarifying that his comments described historical status rather than a policy change and reaffirming unchanged U.S. policy.

Why this matters. The formal retraction removes diplomatic friction between Washington and Israeli leadership over territorial recognition while regional security negotiations proceed.
