Re: Drought in Syria

Re: Israel and The Golan Heights:

I believe Syria’s official position has been: Return the Golan Heights and then we’ll negotiate. I think Israel’s offer also meant it would continue to control the territory for 25 years afterwards. One has to ask: How does the discovery of huge deposits of oil change everything?

Nonetheless, here are the UN documents related to Israel’s illegal occupation of the territory:

How the Golan Heights circumstances have changed since oil has been discovered and the issue of water has become more important.
