Netanyahu arrives in Washington as corruption allegations mount

During his visit to Washington this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will try to showcase his strong relationship with President Trump ahead of elections and leave at home the mounting corruption allegations circling him. But they were biting at his heels as he arrived in Washington on Sunday.  

But then he cut his visit short, after he was to meet Trump

Netanyahu, in Washington to meet President Donald Trump, held emergency consultations with military officials back in Israel and decided to cut his visit short, cancelling a planned address to the AIPAC conference and meetings with congressional leaders.“There has been a criminal attack on the State of Israel and we will respond forcefully,” he said, “In a few hours I will meet with President Trump. I will return to Israel immediately afterward.”Anticipating a strong Israeli response, Gaza’s Hamas leaders have apparently gone underground. 

Did or will Trump have recognized Israeli "sovereignty" over Golan during this brief visit?
