AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is planning to visit the Golan Heights and an Israeli settlement in the West Bank next week, both firsts for a U.S. secretary of state.
Why it matters: Since 1967, all previous U.S. administrations have treated the West Bank and Golan Heights as occupied territory.
The big picture: The trip seems intended to highlight the Trump administration's policy shifts on Israel. For Pompeo, it also has domestic political significance ahead of a possible presidential run in 2024.
