  5. Which part will they annex next? Place your bets!

  6. Putin on Syria a few years ago: “Russia is here forever!”

  7. Where do the Druze want to live? Only half the population is Jewish. The other half is Druze and they may want to be part of Syria? I’d need to read up on this.

  8. I’m confused I just saw some Israeli minister saying it was a “very temporary measure”.

  10. Today golan heights, tomorrow more “buff zones”

    What’s next man? Might as well hand the fucker the whole Middle East

  11. This thread is full of people who didn’t read the article and people who might have read the article and don’t understand the Levant.

    > Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel for almost 60 years, will remain part of Israel “for eternity”,

    Israel seized this territory after Arab defeat in the Six-Day War.

    > amid growing criticism of an Israeli takeover of a previously demilitarised buffer zone in Syrian-controlled territory.

    This is unrelated to what happened in 1967 and is not part of the territory Israel aims to keep in perpetuity.

    > Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, the Israeli prime minister said Israeli control of the high ground “ensures our security and sovereignty” adding “the Golan will be part of the State of Israel for eternity”.

    If you have ever been to Israel, you would know that the valley where the Sea of Galilee is. In terms of territorial importance, it’s literally the high ground that can see deep into Israel and the people who control this ground have a massive advantage over the land of Israel. Israel would be stupid to ceed this land to neighbors that have long vowed its destruction.

  13. Trying to understand the absolutely bootlicking & botting happening on Reddit for Israel. Disgusting.

  14. I feel like people in here aren’t aware that Israel has been in the Golan Heights for nearly 60 years.

  15. We the west should drop support for this muppet and sanction him a bit, then he will change his mind.

  16. Türkiye creates buffer zone:

    Türkiye is occupying Syria! Stop that immediately!

    Israel creates buffer zone:

    It’s strategically important. They’re trying to protect themselves.

  18. Gotta keep his hyper agressive illegal settlers happy.

  19. Because they want the water.
    But forever is a long time.

  20. I’ve literally stood on the heights overlooking Syria and could see the tanks. You know what else is there? Water.

  21. Remember all the bootlicking comments about it being just a deterence for Syrian weapons not falling into the new Gov’s hands? They got backstabbed by homie just going mask off.

  22. Sadly with this muscle policy they miss a real chance of creating a better relationship with one of their neighbours.

  23. Since the title is (again) misleading

    By golan heights bibi is referring to the israeli part. The one that has been a part of israel proper for a good 40 years now

    The recent part that was taken over was the buffer zone ON the golan heights. the one left unguarded.
    Which also this move is supposed to be temporary, hopefully until the rebels and the israeli government can start negotiating a treaty regarding the golan
