Former Sen. Joe Lieberman joined host Alex Marlow on Sirius XM's Breitbart News Daily on Friday, stressing to listeners the “critically important” move President Donald Trump made in calling for the U.S. to recognize the Golan Heights as Israeli territory.

“The fact that [the president is] unconventional enables him to do something that presidents before him, of both parties, probably thought was the right thing to do but never did it because it seemed unconventional, and that's the way it is with the Golan Heights,” said Lieberman.

“I'm sure this was on the president's mind when he did this, is that Iran is establishing, really, a permanent foothold with troops of its own, let alone, the Hezbollah terrorist army that it supports there,” he emphasized, calling it “critically important.”

“It was a very significant thing to do for regional stability, let alone for Israel's security,” said Lieberman, who thanked President Trump for the action.

This is a big win for Trump and signifies a split in the Democratic party between Jews who will stay loyal to the Democratic party and Jews who will see what Trump is doing for Israel and how Netanyahu and now Lieberman both praise him in addition to the anti-Jewish sentiment spreading in the Democratic party in their inability to sanction Congresswoman Omar. - Will Powers
