A US official has revised his statement regarding a disputed territory. The territory in question was captured by Israel during a war in 1967 and later annexed. However, this annexation is not recognized by the international community.

The official's initial comment appeared to contradict the US president's stance on the issue. The president had previously reversed a long-standing policy regarding the territory.

Further information on the official's revised statement and the background of the issue is available from the source.
