Golan Heights
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
The Golan Heights is a strip of land that was part of Syria until Israel captured it in the Six Day War of 1967. The United Nations has voted to ask Israel to pull its troops out of the Golan Heights. Syria and Israel still have not signed a peace treaty from that war, mostly because of the issue of the Golan. They almost reached a peace deal before Israel's prime minister, Ehud Barak, backed out at the last minute.
