The Golan Heights

The Golan Heights have been a disputed area on the Syrian-Israeli border for more than half a century. In 1967, this part of the Syrian province of Quneitra was taken by force by the Israeli army during the Six Day War.

In 1981, the Israeli Knesset passed the "Golan Heights Law", which unilaterally declared Israeli sovereignty over the territory. The annexation was invalidated by the UN Security Council Resolution of December 17, 1981 and condemned by the UN General Assembly in 2008.
