Turkish villager Hasan Dogruyol (R) carries a sack of cotton as he works in a cotton field near the border town of Reyhanli on the Turkish-Syrian border, in Hatay province, November 4, 2012. Despite the conflict on the Syrian side of the border, cotton harvest is still underway in Turkey's southern border province of Hatay. During early October, the Turkish military launched a retaliatory strike on Syria after a mortar bomb fired from Syrian soil landed in the countryside in Hatay. Some Syrian refugees work at cotton fields together with Turkish villagers in the border region as cottons pickers. REUTERS/Murad Sezer (TURKEY - Tags: AGRICULTURE POLITICS) - GM1E8B509U401

One [interpretation] is that [Pompeo's comment on the status of Golan Heights] relates to the content of the Trump peace plan ... The other is that it relates to what will happen if the Trump peace plan is not accepted.
