Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa (Jolani) in New York said that he challenged President Trump on the Golan Heights during a visit to the White House, saying that Trump should give Israel New Jersey instead.

"You don't own the Golan Heights to give, but you own New Jersey," Al-Sharaa said he told Trump. He added that the territory "belongs to his people" and it is not for a president to hand it over.
