According to the Israeli paper ''Haaretz'', it is scheduled that Pompeo would unprecedentedly visit the Syrian Golan Heights that were occupied by Israel in 1967, and the settlement of ''Besgut'' in the West Bank.  

Pompeo arrived to Israel on Wednesday, to be the his last before leaving post in the Trump's Administration.

Haaretz made clear that pompeo's visit to the Golan Heights and to the Besgut Settlement comes after Trump's Administration had recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and after Pompeo stated last year that Israeli settlement in the West Bank is not ''necessarily'' illegitimate, from the U.S. point of view.
